Play by play
- 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>
- 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...
- 90'
Byram makes a fine challenge on Bale. Throw to Spurs. Long from Bale, and Byram is again there to clear for Leeds.
- 90'
A minute or so of injury time remains as Friedel plays it long. Leeds, again, stand firm.
- 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.
- 90'
...Assou-Ekotto tries to play the ball in, but it drifts behind for a goal-kick.
- 90'
Four minutes is the answer to that. Bale crosses, Lees clears, but Green can't keep the ball and Spurs will come again...
- 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.
- 90'
Obika is in after an Assou-Ekotto pass - but a great block by Byram means all Tottenham get is a corner.
- 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.
- 88'
Dempsey attempts to feed the ball through into the area, but feeds it only to Ashdown, who gathers gratefully.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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...
- 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.
- 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.
- 82'
Byram does well to win the ball back after Leeds had lost it again. Eight minutes and counting at Elland Road.
- 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...
- 80'
Lennon runs at Leeds. He's crowded out and Varney, back helping out, is happy just to hack that one into the crowd.
- 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.
- 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.
- 78'
Dembele gives it away to McCormack, who tangles with Vertonghen.
- 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.
- 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.
- 75'
Dempsey fires in a shot that hits Byram. He wants a handball decision and a penalty for that, but doesn't get them.
