West Bromwich Albion 2 Tottenham Hotspur 0
though he failed to make contact with the player.
Three minutes into the second half Jermaine Jenas fouled Valero just outside the penalty area but Brunt's curling left-foot effort was finger-tipped over by Gomes.
Zuiverloon then cut in on to his left foot to test the Spurs keeper but slipped as he struck the ball and Gomes parried it away.
Brunt had another half-chance in the 55th minute from Corluka's poor clearance but he blazed well over from outside the area.
And Bednar should have done better moments later when he failed to get any touch on Cech's hanging cross despite breaking clear of the defence.
Zuiverloon was booked for tripping Bentley on the corner of the penalty area but the former Blackburn midfielder curled the free-kick straight into the arms of Carson.
Graham Dorrans replaced Brunt in the 65th minute as manager Tony Mowbray sought to find a way through Tottenham's stubborn resistance.
Zuiverloon continued to be a profitable outlet down the right and Dawson was forced to concede a corner from the Dutchman's cross-shot.
Gomes was called into action again when Dorrans' shot into the ground bounced up and the goalkeeper had to tip over.
The breakthrough finally came in the 83rd minute when Bednar rose above the Spurs defence to head a long punt out of defence past Gomes.
Beattie added a second in injury time when he stabbed home after the Spurs defence were exposed by Cech's burst forward.
However, despite their win the Baggies remain bottom of the table and are going to have to do much better when presented with similar opportunities in the future if they are to survive in the top flight.
