Play by play
- 90'
It proves to be the final action of the game - honours are even in the North London derby, which ends 1-1
- 90'
It's a poor kick, easily cleared, and Arsenal waste that late chance
- 90'
Toure breaks and looks for Henry in the middle - the ball's headed out for a late, late corner...
- 90'
King volleys a long ball forward but Keane, who has had a lively game, is caught offside
- 90'
Lauren looks for Henry, who is unable to bring the ball under control inside the Tottenham area
- 90'
The free-kick is deflected and falls to Sheringham, who can only steer it across the face of the goal
- 90'
Parlour goes into the book, the game goes into the final minute
- 89'
Poyet hits a low shot, and it's well blocked by the Gunners rearguard. Poyet again - Parlour fouls him, Spurs have another free-kick
- 89'
It comes to nothing, and Parlour eventually gets the ball away. Stoppage time is coming right up
- 88'
And before that, Lauren had crowded out Davies in any case. Freund is fouled midway inside Arsenal territory - free-kick...
- 87'
Kolo Toure comes on for Arsenal, with Freddie Ljungberg going off
- 86'
The crowd turning up the volume, trying to inspire Spurs to one final, meaningful attack. Davies has the ball...
- 85'
Cole on the ball for Arsenal - he plays it straight into touch. The home fans enjoyed that, unsurprisingly
- 84'
Wiltord on the break - he tries to hammer the ball low across the area and it deflects away for a corner
- 83'
Henry breaks and looks for Gilberto with a sweeping crossfield pass, but it's just too strong for him
- 82'
It's cleared, played back in by Davies and cleared again for a throw on the Spurs right
- 81'
More good work from Keane, who's recovered from that earlier knock. He's held back by Lauren and that's a free-kick in a good crossing position
- 80'
Spurs deep inside their own half... King clears and then Ziege produces a wayward pass. Without wishing to tempt fate, it's looking like a draw
- 79'
The set piece is poor, however, and there's no danger to Arsenal there
- 78'
It almost falls to substitute Davies, but Arsenal smuggle it behind for a corner
- 77'
Now they move forward into the area... the ball ricochets out towards the edge of the box
- 76'
Time starting to tick away - Spurs trying to up the tempo but not finding it too easy
- 75'
Keane runs forward and plays a low cross in - no Spurs player is on hand to convert. Keane seems to have hurt himself in making that run
- 74'
Then it's Cole's turn to launch into an aattacking run, which is snuffed out on the edge of the Tottenham area
- 73'
...but Keane goes racing forward again. He's closed down well
