Spurs win Barclays Asia Cup

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Hull City 3-0 in the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, China this afternoon to win the Barclays Asia Cup.

On a humid afternoon. Spurs lined up with a strong side and piled on the early pressure - so much so that it took Robbie Keane only 15 minutes to put his side ahead. He latched on to Luka Modric's superb cross-field ball and slotted past onrushing 'keeper Tony Warner.

Despite continued pressure, Spurs went into the break with a one-goal advantage only.

Hull then had their best chances of the game within two minutes but Heurelho Gomes was alert and ready to the challenge on both occassions.

In the 69th minute, Jermain Defoe was upended in the area as he attempted to make the most of Tom Huddlestone's good ball. Robbie Keane secured his brace from the spot.

And Defoe got his just reward for a good performance in the last few minutes, after Alan Hutton combined with fellow substitute Kyle Naughton down the right flank, who in turn left Aaron Lennon with an easy finish to wrap up a comfortable win and a good tournament for Redknapp's men.

Hull were poor, it has to be said - but Spurs' paasing was sick, their movement clever.

Next up is another friendly against Sout China on Sunday and a final home match against Olympiakos at White Hart Lane.

It is almost certain that two or three will leave the club in between now and the first Premier League fixture, with the Four Bs Bale, Bent, Bentley and Boateng all struggling to fit into the squad.

Huntelaar and Bassong may join, but it seems unlikely that Vieira will join the squad, with Redknapp in the dark after an initial enquiry at the beginning of the month.
