GIFs: West Brom off to a dream start with two goals in five minutes against Spurs

We wouldn't want to be Tim Sherwood's gillet right about now.

There's been plenty of speculation about Tim Sherwood's future in the past few weeks, and very few still believe that he'll be in the job come the summer. If the first few minutes of the game against West Brom are anything to go by, then it seems that the Spurs players have bought into those rumours too, or else they've decided that they're on the beach already, as they conceded twice within five minutes.

Vydra opened the scoring early doors with this effort after barely 30 seconds, to the delight of the home crowd.

A low volley from Chris Brunt added a second a few minutes later, and after five weeks out, he looked pretty happy to get back in the swing of things so quickly.

Add to these two goals a missed penalty from Adebayor, and we think that's what you might call a shaky start from Spurs.
