Spurs, Charlton grab late wins
Reuters, London
Robbie Keane grabbed a late winner as Tottenham Hotspur beat Middlesbrough 2-1 in the Premier League on Tuesday while Charlton Athletic moved off the bottom with an injury-time 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers. Tottenham, still stinging from their 3-0 weekend defeat by neighbours Arsenal, went ahead with a neat volley by in-form Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov three minutes into the second half. Defender Robert Huth lashed in an equaliser in the 80th minute but substitute Keane drove home from outside the box four minutes later just after coming on to edge Spurs up to 10th place on 22 points. Both sides had a man sent off at the end as Tottenham's Didier Zokora and George Boateng of Boro wrestled on the touchline. Talal El-Karkouri was on target with a free-kick three minutes into stoppage time for Charlton as they beat Blackburn 1-0 at the Valley. The win took them to 12 points, two above new bottom side Watford. Blackburn and Middlesbrough both have 16 points.
