By David Ornstein<\/span>
BBC Sport<\/span><\/span> \"Matthew Etherington made 51 appearances as a Spurs players between 1999 and 2003<\/span> <\/p>\n

Tottenham’s 11-match unbeaten league run ended as Matthew Etherington scored twice against his old club to hand Stoke a third straight league win.<\/p>\n

One of four former Spurs players to feature for the hosts, Etherington tapped in to open the scoring.<\/p>\n

He doubled the lead with a scuffed strike from Ryan Shotton’s long throw before Emmanuel Adebayor converted a penalty after a foul on Luka Modric.<\/p>\n

Tottenham pushed for an equaliser but faded once Younes Kaboul was sent off.<\/p>\n

It was a harsh dismissal for a second yellow card and Spurs were also aggrieved with several other decisions by referee Chris Foy.<\/p>\n

\n

Redknapp questions ‘farcical’ Kaboul dismissal at Stoke<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Peter Crouch appeared to handle in the build-up to Etherington’s opener, Ryan Shawcross cleared a Kaboul shot off the line at 2-1 and, in the scramble that followed, Adebayor saw a strike incorrectly ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

Jermain Defoe also felt one of his shots was blocked by a hand.<\/p>\n

The defeat stops Tottenham’s winning streak in the league at six games and leaves them five points behind second-placed Manchester United with a game in hand.<\/p>\n

Stoke have been in impressive form in recent weeks and are now up to eighth in the table.<\/p>\n

Their previous two league meetings with Spurs at the Britannia ended in defeat but they made the more purposeful start on this occasion – with Crouch, Etherington, Jonathan Woodgate and eventual substitute Wilson Palacios up against their old team.<\/p>\n

There was no place in the side for Rory Delap but long-throw duties fell to Shotton and he proved a highly capable replacement.<\/p>\n

Only 37 seconds were on the clock when his looping delivery was cleared to Etherington and the 30-year-old’s volley drew a diving save from Brad Friedel.<\/p>\n

Clearly aware of their opponents’ strength in central midfield – where Scott Parker, Modric and Rafael van der Vaart have formed one of the division’s more fearsome trios – Stoke looked to attack from wide areas at every opportunity.<\/p>\n

\n

DID YOU KNOW?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Stoke have lost only one of the 22 Premier League matches in which they have led by two goals – against Wolves in October 2009<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    The tactic paid off when Shotton’s cross was flicked by Jon Walters to Crouch and he held off William Gallas before turning the ball through Friedel’s legs from a tight angle for Etherington to slam into an empty net.<\/p>\n

    Crouch seemingly used his arm to control Walters’s header, but Stoke deserved their reward for a high-tempo approach that caught Tottenham off guard.<\/p>\n

    Tony Pulis’s men worked tirelessly to maintain their advantage before going in search of a second – and it arrived when the latest Shotton throw was worked on by Walters and Etherington arrived at the back post to volley past Friedel.<\/p>\n

    They began the second half as they started and finished the first, harrying all over the pitch, and Spurs were pushed firmly on to the back foot.<\/p>\n

    But Harry Redknapp replaced Assou-Ekotto and Lennon with Sebastien Bassong and Defoe, switching his formation from 4-4-1-1 to 3-5-1-2, and the move paid off.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Stoke work-rate key to Tottenham win – Tony Pulis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    An unmarked Bassong headed over from Modric’s corner, Defoe fired over, Ryan Shawcross cleared Bale’s cross with a last-ditch header and Parker narrowly failed to connect with Kyle Walker’s pinpoint centre.<\/p>\n

    Their superiority finally told when Glenn Whelan tripped Modric in the box and Adebayor wrong-footed Sorensen from the spot.<\/p>\n

    Spurs were now encamped in Stoke territory and Parker drew a stunning save from Sorensen, Adebayor curled inches wide and Modric again went close.<\/p>\n

    A Kaboul shot was cleared off the line by the arm of Shawcross and Adebayor was wrongly flagged offside as he rolled in what should have been the leveller.<\/p>\n

    Foy gave Kaboul his marching orders for a challenge on Walters and, from that moment, the game was up for Spurs, Shawcross heading against the bar as Stoke pressed for a late third.<\/p>\n
