Tottenham Hotspur continued their pre-season preparations with a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo on Tuesday.

Two second half goals from Jermain Defoe were enough to give Spurs their third win in three games.

Robbie Keane started his first game of pre-season after a neck injury and the Republic of Ireland international successfully came through 70 minutes of the game.

Defoe came off the bench at the start of the second half and it took him only five minutes to find the net when he headed home from close-range after Reto Ziegler saw his shot come back off the post.

The former West Ham United man doubled the lead two minutes later when he latched onto a pass from Teemu Tainio to score.

West Bromwich Albion left it late to beat Bristol Rovers on Tuesday.

Darren Carter's strike two minutes from time proved to be enough for Bryan Robson's men.

Manchester United target Tomasz Kuszczak impressed in his first game of pre-season with a number of fine saves.

Curtis Davies also made a welcome return to action after recovering from injury.

Two goals from Robert Earnshaw helped Norwich City to a 2-0 victory over Livingston in the first game of their Scottish tour.

Wolves were held to a 2-2 draw at League One outfit Tranmere Rovers.

Denis Rosa gave Wolves the lead after just five minutes, but Chris Greenacre drew Tranmere level nine minutes later.

Carl Cort restored Wolves' lead on 64 minutes, but Jason McAteer's deflected free kick six minutes from time earned Tranmere a draw.

Michael Svensson made his first start in nine months, as Southampton beat Swedish side Kungshamns 4-0.

Dexter Blackstock, Djamel Belmadi, Bradley Wright-Phillips and Grzegorz Rasiak all found the net for George Burley's men.

Leicester City beat Macclesfield Town 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Elvis Hammond.

Burnley were held to a goalless draw at local rivals Bury.
