Kean left frustrated

Blackburn manager Steve Kean was left cursing his luck after the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham at Ewood Park. A goal from Peter Crouch in the fourth minute was enough to secure victory for Spurs, who are still chasing a top-four spot. Rovers almost secured an equaliser in stoppage time when Chris Samba, who has secured a contract extension until 2015, saw his goalbound effort turned away by Jermaine Jenas. Kean said: "If you look at the stats we had 17 attempts and 11 on target. The lads would even have been disappointed with a point after the chances we had. "I think the crowd got edgy but I hope they enjoyed the type of football we played. We were caught cold for the first goal but were totally in control for the rest of the game. "At the end Chris' header looks like it is going in but it hits Jenas and goes over. So they have certainly been peppered as the shots came in thick and fast."
