Play by play

  1. 93'

    Cheers folks and see you again next time. We've got live text commentary of Manchester United v Blackburn from 17:15 GMT so feel free to join us for that.

  2. 93'

    FULL-TIME. Arsenal 3-0 Spurs. Comfortable victory for the Gunners. A twentieth game without defeat against Spurs for Wenger's side. Poor from Spurs and a terrible day for captain Ledley King who was at fault for all three goals. Arsenal go second, ahead of Manchester United on goal difference. Spurs stay fourth but they will need to improve significantly if they want to still be there come May.

  3. 93'

    He comes off but all the subs have been made. Spurs down to ten men for the last few seconds.

  4. 93'

    And Bassong looks to have tweaked his hamstring there. He's pulled up and looks in some pain.

  5. 93'

    Arsenal break now. Ramsey's away.

  6. 92'

    To give Spurs credit they are looking to go forward now. Shame they didn't try harder in the othe 91 minutes.

  7. 91'

    No it's Bentley to cross and Almunia unconvincingly flaps it away.

  8. 91'

    Spurs free-kick on the right side of the Arsenal area. I'm sure Bale will try his luck from here

  9. 90'

    Three minutes of added time to play.

  10. 89'

    Assou-Ekotto crosses in and it is just rubbish. Sums up Spurs' day.

  11. 88'

    Eduardo down the right and he and Fabregas content to exchange passes. It eventually floats harmlessly into Gomes.

  12. 87'

    Hutton gives it away, but Bassong wins a free-kick.

  13. 86'

    Bale released down the left and he crosses to Hutton who knocks it back to Bentley. A spooned left-foot effort from Bentley goes back to the offside Bale. Bentley's had a poor day at the office.

  14. 85'

    Standing ovation for RVP fromt he rsenal faithful. I'm sure he would have fancied staying on to go for his hat-trick.

  15. 85'

    ARSENAL SUB: Ramsey for Van Persie.

  16. 85'

    SPURS SUB: Hutton on for Corluka

  17. 84'

    Pavlyuchenko to Crouch and it's another weak header from the Spurs striker. Frustratingly unthreatening.

  18. 84'

    Straight to Gomes.

  19. 83'

    Fabregas to take.

  20. 83'

    Arsenal corner again.

  21. 82'

    Diaby takes his eye off the ball. He had an unmarked header. well i say header, but it's come off his shoulder instead!

  22. 82'

    Song releases Clichy and his cross is knocked out for a corner.

  23. 81'

    I reckon had Defoe, Lennon and Modric been playing Spurs would have been significantly better. They've had nor creative outlet whatsoever.

  24. 80'

    Eboue offside.

  25. 80'

    Fabregas curls it in and Eduardo heads it straight down Gomes' throat.
