Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur, 1st Leg

Full time. What a great game of football - an excellent advert for the English game. It also leaves the tie very well poised for the return leg. Thanks for your company, until next time....

Ooh, great chance for Eduardo! A lovely ball from Sagna and the Brazilian couldn't get his head on it or else he would surely have scored.

Arsenal force a late corner as Diaby tried to dribble through Spurs' banked defence.

Mark Randall has replaced Walcott.

Great tackle by Ledley King as Eduardo charged down the right.

Walcott is down with an injury as we near the 90-minute mark.

That was a touch better from Defoe, forcing Senderos to bring him down. Nothing comes of the free-kick though.

An ambitious effort from Denilson there, hitting a ball from Bendtner first time.

That would have been just reward for Spurs' play this evening but Jermain Defoe, who has reportedly been told by his manager he can leave, made a right mess of it.

Oh no! Jermain Defoe has blazed over the bar from six yards over! Lennon went through squared for Defoe who has missed a sitter. Unbelievable.

Ledley King just got caught for the goal, Walcott slipped in behind him and the quality of Eduardo's ball meant King's error was exposed.

Jermain Defoe has replaced Robbie Keane for Spurs.

Suddenly Arsenal look the more likely and Eduardo is getting on the ball a bit. He can't quite find Bendtner there though.

What a last ten minutes in prospect here. Can we find a winner?

Spurs will be sick at that. Arsenal have created nothing in this half and when they do, they get a massive slice of luck as Lee's tackle bounces up off Walcott's boot, onto his hand and into the net.

Goal! Against the run of play Arsenal are level. Great ball from Eduardo, Theo races clear and as Lee slides in to tackle him the ball ricochets up to hit Walcott on the hand and dribble over the line. Arsenal 1-1 Spurs.

Another half-chance for Spurs as Chimbonda wins a header from an O'Hara free-kick and a great last ditch tackle by Gilberto prevents Ledley King from scoring.

Steed Malbranque is coming off to be replaced by Kevin-Prince Boateng

Then at last a decent break from Arsenal as Sagna squares for Diaby but his shot is blocked - then Lennon gallops clear but fails to square when Robbie Keane was screaming for it, in that high-pitched squeak of his we've come to know and hate.

Calamity at the other end as Robbie Keane makes a right mess of controlling a ball over the top which put him clean thorugh.

My word! That is possibly the worst free-kick in living memory! Traore has smashed in 20 yards over the bar from an impossible acute angle. Terrible.

King has been immense this eveing but the referee has given Arsenal a free-kick for that challenge, right on the edge of the box out to the left.

Sagna has gone down here after coming off worse in a 50-50 with Ledley King.

Less than 20 minutes for Arsenal to grab something from this game. It's not looking likely at present....

Spurs are carving Arsenal apart here and should be two up by now. Berbatov lifts a sublime ball over the top for Lennon and his pull back finds the Bulgarian but for once his touch deserts him and Arsenal clear.
