Play by play

  1. 90'

    <b>And it's all over - Leeds win 2-1 with the final whistle going as the ball trundled towards an unguarded Tottenham goal. A deserved win for an excellent home side - it's the end of the FA Cup road for Spurs.</b>

  2. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Brown is booked for a foul on Parker. Dangerous free-kick to Spurs. Friedel is up. Last chance...

  3. 90'

    Byram makes a fine challenge on Bale. Throw to Spurs. Long from Bale, and Byram is again there to clear for Leeds.

  4. 90'

    A minute or so of injury time remains as Friedel plays it long. Leeds, again, stand firm.

  5. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ross McCormack, the man who may well have got the winner, comes off and Davide Somma is on in his place.

  6. 90'

    ...Assou-Ekotto tries to play the ball in, but it drifts behind for a goal-kick.

  7. 90'

    Four minutes is the answer to that. Bale crosses, Lees clears, but Green can't keep the ball and Spurs will come again...

  8. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> We're heading towards injury time, and Leeds make a change: Diouf is off, and Jason Pearce is on. We'll soon find out how much added time we'll get at Elland Road.

  9. 90'

    Obika is in after an Assou-Ekotto pass - but a great block by Byram means all Tottenham get is a corner.

  10. 89'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> A booking for Assou-Ekotto as Spurs' frustrations begin to show.

  11. 88'

    Dempsey attempts to feed the ball through into the area, but feeds it only to Ashdown, who gathers gratefully.

  12. 87'

    But they can move forward now - Obika gets a free-kick after a Green foul. Bale plays a deep cross in, and Ashdown is in the right place to claim that one.

  13. 86'

    What is certain is that they're running out of time in which to find one and, as Leeds win a corner, they're in completely the wrong place.

  14. 85'

    You have to say that a Spurs equaliser isn't looking massively likely here - although, given the quality they have at their disposal, you never know...

  15. 84'

    Bale overruns the ball down the right and it's played to Diouf. He draws a challenge from Parker. It's a rash one, and Leeds have a free-kick in midfield.

  16. 83'

    Parker wins the ball and has a blast at goal from the edge of the area. Peltier, who has had a good game today, is the man in the way for Leeds.

  17. 82'

    Byram does well to win the ball back after Leeds had lost it again. Eight minutes and counting at Elland Road.

  18. 81'

    As Spurs' need to get forward becomes more pressing, Leeds can break - and they're trying to do that here with the hard-working McCormack...

  19. 80'

    Lennon runs at Leeds. He's crowded out and Varney, back helping out, is happy just to hack that one into the crowd.

  20. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15">Booking for Diouf - possibly for dissent before the kick is taken - before another good challenge by Brown, this time on Obika, stops the visitors in their tracks.

  21. 78'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15">That's a booking for the Spurs man, and a free-kick to Leeds.

  22. 78'

    Dembele gives it away to McCormack, who tangles with Vertonghen.

  23. 77'

    It's still a bit tasty in midfield, and Brown gives away another free-kick. Assou-Ekotto plays it in, and a firm header clear buys Leeds some time.

  24. 76'

    Parker tries to feed Obika inside the area, and Lees plays his clearance off the Tottenham man and behind for a Leeds goal-kick.

  25. 75'

    Dempsey fires in a shot that hits Byram. He wants a handball decision and a penalty for that, but doesn't get them.
