Charlton on top as UEFA race hots up
16/03/2005 - 22:28:09Charlton 2 Tottenham 0
Jerome Thomas and Danny Murphy fired Charlton to victory with a pair of stunning strikes to win tonight’s Barclays Premiership clash with fellow European hopefuls Tottenham at The Valley.
The 21-year-old former Arsenal trainee drilled the ball in from 25 yards after cutting inside from the left after just four minutes, with Murphy – who could have joined Spurs in the summer – smashing home a free-kick late on.
Fredi Kanoute had the best of Spurs’ chances – both during the first-half - missing his kick from close range and then seeing Dean Kiely make a fine reaction block.
