00:00Out of our match of the day at Tottenham last Saturday, but recovered to register his first Premiership goal of an injury-delayed season in midweek.
00:08Bradley Allen has scored ten goals in his last eight games for Queen's Park Rangers.
00:12He actually played his schoolboy football with Spurs, the club with whom his brother Clive and father Les had their greatest successes.
00:19Les' absence means the first chance this season for 22-year-old Michael Meeker on the wing.
00:25Allen McDonald returns, Simon Barker is the captain.
00:27Steve Sensley captains Tottenham in the absence of Gary Mavitt.
00:32Jason Dezelle and Teddy Sheringham are still missing too.
00:35Barby's only had Sheringham alongside him for 20 minutes so far this season.
00:42Dave Barker.
00:45It was an invitation to shoot and it came on Colin Cornerwood and Queen's Park Rangers have an early corner.
00:54McDonald is forward on the goal line. Peacock's in there too.
00:57Send it towards Ferdinand and he's in.
01:02A goal in one minute and 13 seconds.
01:08And everybody else who'd gathered in the penalty area were merely decoys to the flying Ferdinand.
01:15Great leap.
01:16Kaski was the defender on the line.
01:22But he couldn't get it away.
01:26And Peacock.
01:30Some chance.
01:33Darren Peacock loitering with intent.
01:35On the edge of the Tottenham six-yard box.
01:39Unable to apply the finishing touch to another piece of handiwork from Les Ferdinand.
01:49Here's Allen.
01:50Broke the challenge essentially.
01:54Andrew Impey.
01:55Bradley Allen.
01:56Les Ferdinand.
01:58Just run away from him.
01:59Torsten.
02:01Was able to grab it.
02:02He can't help but wonder in a while just how costly his absence was in Holland.
02:10You'll never know.
02:14Only Barmby in the box for now.
02:15Here he is.
02:17Reflected off Bardsley.
02:20What's that?
02:21Corner?
02:22Yeah.
02:24Steskel didn't quite manage to stop the ball bouncing over the dead ball line.
02:30From a sweetly struck volley by Nicky Barmby.
02:36And slowly but surely Tottenham are finding a rhythm in this match.
02:40Headed by Calderwood.
02:52Went back by Mika.
02:56Holloway.
02:58Calderwood's header.
02:59Barker though.
03:00Looking to his left.
03:02In towards Bradley Allen.
03:03Down by Edinburgh.
03:05Way by Hazard.
03:06And by Campbell.
03:09Now Robinson.
03:09Anderton.
03:11Kasky.
03:13They've got men over here.
03:14They can work it.
03:15Samwise.
03:16Barmby.
03:18And Wilson managed to hold Tottenham up.
03:23Doing a little bit more than that now.
03:24Feeling less good.
03:25And are essentially going with him.
03:35Sol Campbell.
03:36Oh, yeah.
03:39Some ways to Hazard.
03:46Some ways to Campbell.
03:48Anderton making a break.
03:49Robinson's in there too.
03:51First chance for Steven Robinson.
03:52And he had a bit more time than he realised.
03:58Flags up though.
04:00Not going to count.
04:04But Darren Anderton providing a fitting finish to a beautifully floated pass.
04:09Hazard inevitably the provider.
04:10There wasn't much in it.
04:12There wasn't much in it.
04:13But the flag was up.
04:18Well, the linesman had the best view.
04:23Brut.
04:24Robinson really stirring conclusion to the half from Tottenham Holtzman.
04:35And the whistle is music to Queen's Park Rangers ears.
04:41It not only confirms their one goal advantage given to them by Les Ferdinand after just 73 seconds of the half.
04:49But it brings to an end Tottenham's reply which back for a linesman's flag would have had a goal to its name.
04:57Robinson towards Barby.
05:04McDonald's header.
05:06Peacock's header.
05:08In his clearance.
05:10Campbell.
05:13Lost it beneath his own feet.
05:17And Mika's got a free kick.
05:24Allen.
05:26Ferdinand.
05:26Oh.
05:30Well, power but not poised for once.
05:33It didn't come quite as early as his first half chance.
05:37But he just loves to have the ball placed in front of him, Les Ferdinand, and to run on to it.
05:43Kasky.
05:46Oh, and Barby just got caught up on his heels.
05:48Kasky will go on though.
05:49McDonald come across and that's a penalty.
05:53Darren Peacock's challenge penalised.
05:55Darren Kasky's willingness rewarded.
05:56And Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to level it from the spot.
06:00It'll be Darren Anderton against Jan Stoyskull.
06:10And a fabulous opportunity for Tottenham goes a begging.
06:23Missed by probably a foot.
06:24The way the Stoyskull going the wrong way.
06:29Samways.
06:34And that same tidy rhythm about Tottenham's passing almost throughout the match.
06:39Ferdinand, though, is caught centrally in possession.
06:47Now Allen.
06:51Corner given.
06:52Because Tottenham are committed to playing the length of the field, they do get caught in possession occasionally inside their own half.
07:04And it can be so dangerous.
07:11Towards McDonald, towards Allen.
07:14Oh, that's a good save.
07:15Calmed away by the diving towards Ferdinand.
07:22Bradley Allen was only just in front of him.
07:27Away by Samways.
07:31Black's up this time.
07:32Looking for Kasky.
07:40Wilson looking just to try and shield the ball out of play.
07:44Wasn't allowed to do that.
07:45Tottenham have the throw.
07:47But only two and a half minutes in which to save the game.
07:49Barnby.
07:50Hazard.
07:51Campbell.
07:52Beautifully done.
07:52Anderson.
07:53Glorious goal!
07:58And if you want to know what Ossian is trying to do at Tottenham, that is it.
08:02Crisp, precision passing and decisive finishing.
08:10It was a joy to behold.
08:13And Darren Anderson, who's had a goal that's allowed, who's missed a penalty, has maybe had the final word.
08:19It was a goal that had Tottenham Hotspur written all over it.
08:24Allen.
08:26It's run for Campbell.
08:27That's a free kick.
08:36Hazard looking for Campbell.
08:38More than a minute of added time play.
08:42Nobody in the middle.
08:43It's a risky one from Samwise.
09:01It's born for Mika.
09:02He's got three forward in support.
09:07And Samwise is back there to atone.
09:11Hazard's found Anderson and both sides still looking to win this.
09:15The match has been a credit to them.
09:19And to the approach of the respective managers.
09:21And there's a little something for everyone at the end of the day.
09:27A goal at either end of a thoroughly enjoyable match.
09:31Les Ferdinand giving Queen's Park Rangers the lead in just over a minute.
09:36With little more time than that remaining in the game.
09:40Darren Anderson, for whom it was a mixed afternoon, he missed a penalty, got an equaliser.
09:44It's been a week in which Queen's Park Rangers have hit a couple of hurdles and lost some of their momentum.
09:48But a week in which Spurs may find some consolation for their injuries in a long moment.
