Bent headed home with 17 minutes remaining, his third in as many matches, to earn Spurs their first victory in a frustrating start to the season.

David Bentley had given the hosts the lead in the first half but Tomas Jirsak levelled within a minute.

Bentley was in the action with less than a minute gone, with Jermaine Jenas hustling Junior Diaz off the ball and sending his team-mate down the right - but goalkeeper Mariusz Pawelek bravely blocked as Bent closed in.

Pawelek required treatment after throwing himself at Bent again, with Bentley again providing the service. Wisla's goalkeeper was able to continue despite a lump on his head, but he was picking the ball out of his net after Spurs' next move, in the 33rd minute.

Giovani dos Santos sent Aaron Lennon away down the left and his cross found its way to the back post, with Bentley sending the ball in the direction it came, around Radoslaw Sobolewski and into Pawelek's far post.

But the lead only lasted a minute, with Rafal Boguski nutmegging Gareth Bale before centring, with Jirsak lashing into the net after a lay-off from Pawel Brozek.

Boguski could have given them the lead but Heurelho Gomes produced a stunning save before the interval, turning the ball around the post to deny the striker.

Ramos brought on Fraizer Campbell for his debut to replace Lennon, while Chris Gunter was replaced by Jamie O'Hara.

And it was Campbell who held the ball up on the right and floated in a cross, with Bent climbing over de Lima Cleber to send the ball past Pawelek for the winner.
