Bolton Wanderers 2 Tottenham Hotspur 2: match report
So much is different but so little has changed. Harry Redknapp has felt able to celebrate Tottenham's new-found steel but, even though they came from behind twice, they could not end their 13-year wait for a win in Bolton.
Bolton's eight previous goals have all come from set pieces but Tottenham were still caught cold with just two minutes gone when the visitors, as usual without a host of central defenders, failed to deal with a simple long throw from Fabrice Muamba.
The former Arsenal player hurled the ball into the area but Sebastien Bassong failed to clear and Ricardo Gardner's flick fell for Chung-Yong Lee and his drive at goal was pushed away by Carlo Cudicini only as far as Jamaican veteran Gardner, who fired into the back of the net.
The hosts applied all of the first-half pressure but showed their concern at Peter Crouch's aerial prowess by marking him at their own free-kicks and the England forward was able to demonstrate why they were so minded by playing a key role in the visitors' equaliser.
Bolton were able to keep the ball for long spells and a neat one-touch move ended with Gardner slipping the ball through for Tamir Cohen, whose bobbling shot beat Cudicini but was hacked away by Tom Huddlestone.
Tottenham finally found some fluency when Jermaine Jenas clipped the ball into Niko Kranjcar and the Croatian turned sharply on the edge of the area before releasing a shot that deflected off Zat Knight and wide.
Jermaine Jenas lobbed into the area and Crouch rose higher than Sam Ricketts and Gary Cahill to glance a header back across the area for Kranjcar to sweep in his first goal since joining Tottenham from Portsmouth.
Bolton began the second period with the greater purpose and Gary Cahill headed over after out-jumping Vedran Corluka at Matthew Taylor's corner.
Another move of real quality just after the midway point of the second half resulted in Cohen lifting a cross towards the far post and Davies shrugging off a feeble challenge from Benoit Assou-Ekotto to head in.
But Tottenham struck back again when Kranjcar sent over a corner from the right and Corluka out-jumped Sam Ricketts and headed with enough power to beat the despairing Cahill on the line.
