Spurs site Mini Report
QPR's best season in the First Division was aided by a convincing second half performance that lead to a 3-0 win at White Hart Lane.
The first half was nothing to write home about with neither side managing a shot in anger, but Rangers struck in the 55th minute with Bowles heading on a Parkes kick out and Don Givens finishing with aplomb. Just after the hour, Masson's free-kick found Francis racing in to swing the ball home and the future Spurs manager ran half the length of the field to shoot home the third on 74 minutes.
Parkes was called into action as Spurs tried to gain some succour, but his endeavours denied Tottenham and the intervention of the goalpost stopped Osgood gaining some consolation.

Spurs - Jennings, Naylor, Young, McAllister, Osgood, Pratt, Coates (Chivers), Perryman, Duncan, Chris Jones, Neighbour
QPR - Parkes, Clement, Webb, Leach, Gillard, Hollins, Masson, G. Francis, Thomas, Bowles, Givens.
