Football Soccer - Tottenham Hotspur v Swansea City - Barclays Premier League - White Hart Lane - 28/2/16 Tottenham's Danny Rose celebrates scoring their second goal with Harry Kane (Reuters)
Tottenham survived an early scare and scored two goals in eight minutes to beat struggling Swansea 2-1 Sunday and stay in pursuit of Premier League leader Leicester.
Swansea went ahead in the 19th minute at White Hart Lane through Alberto Paloschi but the Welsh visitors paid for their defensive approach in the second half when Tottenham substitute Nacer Chadli equalized in the 70th after being set up by Kyle Walker.
Danny Rose put Spurs ahead in the 77th when Swansea failed to clear a corner properly.
It was almost 3-1 when Harry Kane, playing with a mask to protect his broken nose, set up Walker, whose goal was ruled offside.
Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski made several impressive saves in the game.
Tottenham is second on 54 points, two behind Leicester.
