Spurs full-back could face investigation

Tottenham defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto could face a police investigation following an incident after the 1-0 White Hart Lane defeat by Wolves. The Cameroon left-back allegedly raised his hands to a supporter's neck near the tunnel as he was walking off the pitch. Spurs assistant Joe Jordan reportedly hauled the player away and led him down the tunnel, and he then later gave his version of events to the club's security team. A Tottenham spokesperson said: ""We are aware of the incident and we are investigating. "The police are speaking to everyone involved." The incident capped a miserable afternoon for Assou-Ekotto who had a poor game as Spurs went down 1-0 at home to Wolves. Kevin Doyle gave the away side the lead after just three minutes and they held on for the win and three much-needed points.
