Streak: Won 1 Next Game: at Sunderland, February 11 Tottenham kept up their chase for a Champions League place next season with a 3-1 win versus Charlton Athletic. Jermain Defoe scored twice against his former club. Jermaine Jenas also struck for Spurs while Jerome Thomas fired a consolation for Charlton with 20 minutes remaining. Tottenham coach Martin Jol said: We had a young side out and they did well. I certainly think we deserved to win." West Ham striker Teddy Sheringham revealed during the week that he turned down the chance last month to join Tottenham for the third time in his career. Meanwhile Southampton have taken Tottenham striker Grzegorz Rasiak on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move. Mido was thrown out of Egypt's African Cup of Nations squad after a row with coach Hassan Shehata and told he will not be picked for six months. The Tottenham striker argued with Shehata after being substituted in Tuesday's semi-final win over Senegal. This Saturday, Tottenham take on bottom club Sunderland having beaten them 3-0 at White Hart Lane in December.
