18th April - Spurs in History

18th April, 1998

Barnsley 1 Spurs 1 (Premiership)

Spurs struggle against relegation continued against one of their rivals for the dreaded drop. Spurs had gone out of the FA Cup in a replay at Barnsley, so they knew it would be a difficult game.

Barnsley took he lead in the first half but Spurs had opportunities to equalise. Klinsmann missed an opportunity to level when it seemed easier to score. A half-time tactical switch saw Chris Armstrong replace Klinsmann to play beside Les Ferdinand as strikers and within a minute Colin Calderwood (Pic: Calderwood - scored vital goal) had equalised. Spurs were reduced to ten men when Ramon Vega was sent off but Spurs had a chance to win but David Ginola shot straight at the goalkeeper.

This point kept Spurs two points ahead of Barnsley in the battle against relegation, with only three games remaining.
