Tottenham 2-0 Middlesbrough

More Premiership photos

Tottenham scored two second-half goals to see off Middlesbrough and move to the top of the Premiership. Jermain Defoe scored with a long-range strike after picking the ball up in the centre circle and marauding forward as Boro's defence backed off.
Mark Schwarzer then allowed a tame shot from Mido to squirm under his body.
Boro had plenty of chances themselves - Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink, George Boateng and Stewart Downing all missing while Paul Robinson made two good saves.
Mark Viduka played a series of delightful through balls after his introduction at half-time.
But his team-mates failed to capitalise on his creativity and only have themselves to blame for leaving White Hart Lane empty handed. It was a satisfying afternoon for Spurs, though, as Martin Jol's team have yet to concede a goal in the Premiership and have a 100% record after two games.
