Spurs took a 3-0 lead, but
were pegged back in this Premier League meeting at the Lane.
It was a fifth minute Jose Dominguez
shot from long range that flew past Kevin Pressman in the Wednesday goal
for his first in Spurs' colours. A corner fell to Campbell, who
helped the ball on for Chris Armstrong to finish in the 39th
minute. Right on half-time, Fenn and Vega created a shooting
opportunity for David Ginola to curl a shot into the goal to make
it 3-0.
The second half saw more openings, but
Tottenham could not apply the finishing touch, which allowed Wednesday
to get back into the match. In the 71st minute, Wayne Collins
scrambled the ball in from close range and then Paolo Di Canio shot six
minutes from the end made it a tense ending, but Tottenham held out for
the points.

Mark Pembridge had the
first chance in this Premier League meeting at Hillsborough, but a long
range rocket from Peter Atherton in the 18th minute, Wednesday took the
lead after Carbone's free-kick was laid on by David Hirst and Andy
Booth. Sheringham, Fox, Sinton and Rosenthal all had shots
but it was Dean Austin's long cross that was headed down by Sheringham
for Nielsen to steer home past Kevin Pressman.
Only a double reaction save by Walker
kept Pembridge's shots out and even he could not prevent Wednesday
taking the win in the 69th minute, as Booth shot home Carbone's
pass. Spurs took the game to Wednesday right to the end and
Rosenthal went closest with a late header that brushed the post.

With Steffen Iversen and
John Scales making their home debuts, this match saw two evenly matched
sides fight out a 1-1 draw. An Ian Nolan pile-driver gave the Owls
the lead on 11 minutes after being set up by Mark Pembridge, but Tottenham drew level with a goal from Allan
Nielsen, smuggling the ball past Pressman in the Wednesday goal.
Sheringham hit the post and Fox,
Iversen, Howells and Sinton all had good openings to score, but Ian
Walker had to be alert to make a good stop from Andy Booth and Regi
Blinker shot wide in the closing minutes when well-placed.

The arrival of a new superstar at
Tottenham was heralded by the goal from Jurgen Klinsmann and a novel
goal celebration poking fun at his media given reputation for diving.
A 19th minute goal from Teddy Sheringham gave Spurs
the lead, when he directed the ball past Pressman after taking
Anderton's cross in space in the box. That became 2-0 when Sheringham
returned the compliment with a return ball to Anderton to run in the
area and slide it into the net.
Wednesday weren't finished and drew level through a
Petrescu goal, taking Sheridan's volley and coolly stroking home and
then when Colin Calderwood raced back to deny Bart-Williams breaking
into the box, but only succeeded in slamming it past Walker to make it
2-2 in the 66th minute.
With nineteen minutes remaining, a long ball was
flicked on by Sheringham to Barmby, who took the ball to the edge of the
area and shot between Des Walker's legs and low past Pressman into the
bottom corner of the net.
Spurs were now in the ascendancy and were passing
the ball with supreme confidence. They worked the ball through the
midfield and out to Anderton on the right wing, where he produced a
peach of a cross to the far post. There, Klinsmann leapt and
powered a header past the goalie to open his Spurs account and was
joined by his team-mates in his "Dive" celebration.
Unfortunately, he had to leave the field shortly after following a clash
of heads with Des Walker, but he was hailed the hero.
The home side continued to press and were rewarded
with a third goal - the goal of the game - when David Hirst hit a
screamer of a volley from 18 yards that ripped into the roof of the net,
but it was to no avail as Tottenham took three points to wipe out half
of the FA imposed reduction.

With Owls keeper Kevin
Pressman in outstanding form, Spurs were denied in this game at White
Hart Lane, in which Wednesday ran out 3-1 winners.
Central defender Simon Coleman's far
post finish to a 16th minute free-kick gave Sheffield Wednesday the lead
before slack defending handed Mark Bright two goals, leaving Spurs a big
margin to close. Ronnie Rosenthal headed Darren Anderton's 65th
minute corner in from 18 yards to get one goal back on his debut, but
Pressman athletically stopped efforts from Sedgley, Barmby and Rosenthal
to keep the points safe for the visitors.

This FA Cup Third Round
paired Spurs with Sheffield Wednesday, who had been relegated to
Division Two at the end of the previous season and the game was almost
postponed, with fog lifting from the ground just before the match kicked
off. A Martin Peters
goal, finishing good work on the left allowed Spurs the lead, but it
didn't last too long as David Sunley pulled Wednesday level with a
header after only a few minutes had elapsed.
Tottenham scored through Alan Mullery (p), Gilzean 2, Peters and Wednesday got one back through David Sunley.
Alan Gilzean glanced Steve Perryman's shot
into the net past keeper Peter Springett to make it 2-1 before half-time.
Into the second half, Spurs went further ahead
when Springett brought down Martin Chivers in the area and Alan Mullery
stepped up to convert, after his penalty-kick was saved. A late goal to
give Gilzean his second of the match wrapped up a 4-1 win.

Spurs were top of the table
and expected to take the title with a stylish win in this First Division
match with their closest rivals, Sheffield Wednesday. However, the
Yorkshire team were not that willing to roll over and a Don Megson goal
gave the Owls the lead, flying in the face of the expected scripting for
the game. However, a long
ball forward was won by Terry Dyson, getting there ahead of Peter Swan
and the winger headed on to Bobby Smith. The striker made for the
box, but found Megson in his way, so delicately lobbed the ball over the
defender's head, ran around him and volleyed the ball home past
Springett in the Wednesday goal.
Drawing Spurs level, the goal inspired the team and within a
minute, the match and the title were won. Les Allen netted the
second Tottenham goal and the celebrations began.

In the
Spurs “Push and Run” side's Second Division title win of 1949-50, It was
Sheffield Wednesday who took the runners-up spot.
The following season
saw the teams have differing fortunes. Spurs were near the top of the
First Division from New Year onwards, while Wednesday were close to the
bottom of the table and their visit to White Hart Lane came with just
two matches left. Both teams needed the points for different reasons,
with a win for Tottenham that would give them the title for the first
time.
Spurs had
stuttered in the run-in with Huddersfield Town winning at the Lane and
Middlesbrough taking a point from Spurs on Tees-side.
When the match
started, inside forward Eddie Baily almost broke through, but was denied
by a timely tackle from Norman Curtis, before Wednesday made their
attacking intent clear with a cross from Alan Finney picking out
Redfearn Froggatt to fire a shot just wide of the mark. Spurs broke and
Len Duquemin struck a shot on goal from 10 yards out, forcing Owls
keeper Dave McIntosh to plunge to palm away the ball.
Wednesday were
giving as good as they got and Ted Ditchburn was called into action,
keeping out a shot from striker Dennis Woodhead and then diving at
Woodhead's feet before he could get a shot away. Ditchburn was left
standing when Walter Rickett put the ball across for Wednesday, but
nobody was available to put the ball in, then Froggatt fizzed an effort
inches wide.
Spurs were lacking
their usual accuracy in their passing, with only Peter Murphy testing
McIntosh, while the visitors once more threatened and Alf Ramsey got
back to clear Finney's shot off the goal-line. The ebb and flow of the
game did not stop, with a tricky run up the wing by Les Medley ending
with a flicked effort on goal that McIntosh did well to tip it wide.
An unusual
nervousness seemed to be creeping through the Tottenham attack,
resulting in good play being spurned in the last third, but with only a
minute remaining in the first half, Spurs made a telling attack.
Ron Burgess was on
a strong run that was almost ended by a fearsome tackle by Gerry Henry,
but the Welshman managed to nick the ball on to Eddie Baily, wide on the
right. Good movement ahead of him by Duquemin and Medley opened up
space for him to run past three Wednesday defenders and then laid the
ball off to Medley, in turn finding a pass to Duquemin. With the keeper
coming out and with two full backs bearing down on the Channel Islander,
Len showed his goal-scoring ability by reaching the ball before the
opposition and prodding it into the net to give Spurs the lead with half
a minute remaining.
The Spurs crowd
roared their approval and the team went into the dressing room in good
spirits, only to find out that second place Manchester United were
leading Huddersfield Town 3-0. However, the crowd's buoyant atmosphere
and the confidence of a goal scored at a vital psychological time gave
Tottenham the filip they needed.
The second half
was almost one-way traffic, with McIntosh keeping Spurs at bay.
Medley put in a cross which hit Curtis' hand, but the ref didn't see it,
while the keeper beat out Murphy's pile-driver and then managed to get
enough on the ball to take Ramsey's bullet of a shot over the top.
McIntosh was getting anything in the way to prevent Tottenham scoring
and his face was put to good use to deny Baily, who hit a powerful shot
on target and then produced a fine save to push out Walters' effort that
looked as though it might end up in the roof of the net.
Walters was having
little luck and the post kept his next shot out, with Murphy also going
close until Curtis popped up to head off his own line. With time
running out, Sheffield Wednesday decided to move further up the pitch to
try to salvage something from the match. Woodhead tested Ditchburn's
reflexes and and the forward was through, but when poised to pull the
trigger, he slipped and the chance was gone.
Spurs were happy
with keeping possession and when the final whistle was blown, the
players were joyous and the crowd erupted, as the two points had sealed
the First Division championship for the club for the first time.
Unfortunately, the Duquemin shot that gave Spurs the victory proved
damaging to Wednesday, whose relegation was confirmed a week later.

Struggling Sheffield
Wednesday were overpowered by a Spurs side who did enough to win this
Second Division encounter at White Hart Lane.
After just ten minutes, Les Bennett opened the
scoring for Tottenham and although both sides spurned the opportunity to
score from the penalty spot,
it was left to Freddie Cox
to hit the net, after good work by Spurs in the 32nd minute. The
game disintegrated into a scrappy affair in the second half, which saw
neither goal threatened.

Wednesday's left winger Ellis Rimmer made the score 2-2 to take the tie
to a replay.
