Tottenham kept up with the top four with a hard fought 3-2 win over Swansea at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night.
The hosts opened the scoring early on as Nacer Chadli’s cushioned volley made it 1-0 in the 6th minute but the Swans levelled things up in the 19th minute when Ki was on hand to slot through Hugo Lloris’s legs from a tight angle.
Tottenham restored their lead just after half time when Ryan Mason raced through to smash high into the net and it was 3-1 shortly after when Andros Townsend scored a fine solo effort to curl home and give the hosts a two-goal cushion.
Swansea ensured it would be a nervy final few minutes as former Spurs midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson fired home in the 88th minute but Spurs with-held some late pressure to secure a vital three points.
The win ensures Mauricio Pochettino’s men keep pace with Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool after they all also picked up wins on Wednesday night.
