- 92'
GOAL! Keane places his penalty high to Lehmann's left and makes the score 2-2.
- 91'
Right-wing corner to Spurs, which Lehmann struggles to deal with under pressure from Keane, but the referee has spotted an infrigement and pointed to the spot.
- 90'
Lehmann takes no chances, palming away Defoe's well-struck free kick for a corner.
- 89'
One last chance maybe for Spurs, with Mark Halsey blowing up for a free kick right on the edge of the area, just left of centre, following a foul on Defoe.
- 88'
Arsenal appear to have settled for what they've got, still wanting to go an entire league season unbeaten.
- 87'
Free kick to Spurs from the halfway line, taken by King, but yet again headed clear by Campbell, who has been a rock in the second half.
- 86'
The Spurs fans are leaving in their droves now, not wanting to see their rivals be crowned champions on their own ground.
- 85'
Now Spurs have won a free kick themselves, but Keane's delivery is desperately poor, and goes out for a goal kick.
- 84'
The set-piece is taken quickly, catching the Spurs defence asleep, but from Pires's pull-back, Henry's goalbound shot hits the heels of Reyes.
- 83'
Time running out for the home side, who have given away a free kick deep in their own half.
- 82'
Poyet tries to release Defoe with a ball over the top, but overhits his pass.
- 81'
Toure comes to Arsenal's rescue with a match-saving block to deny Defoe in the six-yard box. A close call for the Gunners.
- 80'
Ten minutes from the title for Arsenal. It is going to take quite a finish for Spurs to deny their arch rivals.
- 79'
Now Arsenal make a change, swapping Jose Antonio Reyes for Bergkamp.
- 78'
Spurs's last throw of the dice, as they bring on veteran midfield player Gustavo Poyet for Kelly.
- 77'
Pires should have wrapped up the win after a terrible mistake by Anthony Gardner, who gifts possession of the ball straight to Henry, who then feeds Pires, but the winger smacks the bar with Keller well beaten.
- 76'
Redknapp needs to be careful having been booked as he brings down Henry, but the referee sensibly just awards a free kick.
- 75'
Lauren almost gifts Spurs an equaliser, but having found himself one-on-one with Lehmann following the right-back's casual throw-in, Kanoute shoots straight at the German.
- 74'
Disappointly, the right-wing corner floats out of play from Davies. A wasted opportunity.
- 73'
Free kick to Spurs in a promising position, left of centre, some 20 yards out, but Lehmann comfortably tips Redknapp's shot over for a corner.
- 72'
Pires robs Kelly of possession in a dangerous area, and feeds Henry with a delicious pass, but amazingly the Premiership's top scorer side-foots the ball wide of the post.
- 71'
Arsenal appear to have calmed down proceedings following that Redknapp strike, and are again playing the game mostly in the Spurs half.
- 70'
Henry finds Gilberto with a neat pass down the right-hand channel of the Spurs box, but King does well to force the World Cup winner wide and then clears the danger.
