A single goal from Jermaine Jenas was enough to take all three points as Tottenham beat West Brom 1-0 at White Hart Lane.
The result means West Brom are almost certainly going to be relegated from the Premier League in a game which they will be disappointed to have lost.
There were chances at either end before Jenas opened the scoring on 43 minutes, coolly stroking the ball home from just outside the box to give Spurs a half-time lead.
West Brom boss Tony Mowbray made several changes in the second half and his side may live to regret missed opportunities, most notably from Shelton Martis who squandered a free header while Marc-Antoine Fortune hit the post with a deflected effort.
The three points puts Tottenham back in the frame for a place in next season's Europa League as they move level on points with Fulham and Man City, albeit with an inferior goal difference.
Meanwhile the Baggies have to host Liverpool and Wigan before travelling to Blackburn and seven points could still be enough for them, but time appears to be running out.
The first half summed up their season, they had plenty of possession, created chances but found themselves going into the break behind.
