Play by play
- 95'
That is full time here at the Bridge and the match ends up goalless after a battling defensive display by Spurs. Chelsea stay second.
- 95'
However, Brown's curling free kick sails over everyone's heads and goes out for a throw-in by the corner flag.
- 94'
Brown has won his team a late free kick in a dangerous position, for which Smertin, who blocked the midfielder, is booked.
- 93'
But, with no players to pick out, the corner is easily claimed by Cech, who wastes no time in setting up probably one last Chelsea attack.
- 92'
Spurs have won a late right-wing corner following a long ball into the Chelsea defence by Robinson's enourmous clearance.
- 91'
The fourth official has indicated that there will be another five minutes to be added on at the end of this second period.
- 90'
Another great escape for Spurs following a long ball into the heart of their defence, and somehow the outstanding King thwarts Drogba just as the striker was about to slam the ball into the back of the net. Great defending, although Chelsea still have a corner.
- 89'
Now Spurs decide to replace the tiring Defoe, bringing on Kanoute.
- 88'
Chelsea make their final change of the match, a last throw of the dice, with Smertin coming on at left back, replacing Bridge.
- 87'
The closest either side comes to scoring with Gudjohnsen volleying brilliantly, first time from outside the box, only for the ball to hit the base of the post and then the ball rolls out to safety, much to the home team's disgust.
- 86'
Again the ball is worked out to Duff on the left-hand touchline, in a lot of space and with time to deliver, but his centre rolls agonisingly across the face of the goal and out for a throw-in.
- 85'
Ferreira goes on a good run down the right wing and delivers a good cross to the back post and with Drogba coming in, Pamarot is forced to concede the corner.
- 84'
This will be a long last six or so minutes for Jacques Santini's men; can they hang on for this point?
- 83'
Again Robinson comes to the visitors' rescue with a brilliant save from Lampard's curling centre, but the keeper just gets fingertips to deflect the ball inches past the far post with Gudjohnsen right in front of the keeper.
- 82'
Free kick to Chelsea after a good, penetrative run by Duff, to be taken by Lampard.
- 81'
Robinson comes to Spurs's rescue, racing off his line to meet a dangerous right-wing centre and punching the ball away from the top of Drogba's head before he can head home.
- 80'
Chelsea have failed to hit the target with any shot in this second period, in which they have been very disappointing.
- 79'
Duff does well on the left wing, and his deep cross to the back post is headed by Gudjohnsen towards Drogba, but the striker cannot turn King and the ball dribbles out for a goal kick.
- 78'
Great tackle by Terry on his England colleague Defoe, winning the ball forcefully in the Chelsea half and then setting up an attack.
- 77'
Spurs are forced into their first change of the match, with Brown coming on to replace the injured Atouba. Brown will play on the right, with Davies swapping to the left flank.
- 76'
Second booking of the match, this time Redknapp for following through late on his opposite number Terry.
- 75'
But, Atouba has now returned to proceedings, although still limping badly.
- 74'
Currently therefore, Spurs are down to ten men.
- 73'
Atouba has been fouled by Lampard in the middle of the park and is down receiving treatment at the moment. In fact, the big man is being forced to limp from the fray.
- 72'
Duff has immediately gone out on to the left wing, looking to hug the touchline and send in some crosses for Chelsea's three strikers.
