Play by play

  1. 95'

    There it is! A famous, and throughly deserved victory for Spurs - they have finally broken the nine-year curse to beat their arch rivals, and they've only gone and done it 5-1! Good on them I say. Thanks for your company this evening. Until next time....

  2. 94'

    GOAL! That is what is officially known as the icing on the cake! Jenas breaks into a depleted Arsenal penalty area and slides it across for Malbranque to tap into an empty net. Get this, Spurs 5-1 Arsenal!

  3. 93'

    Arsenal's last throw of the dice comes from Eduardo who tries an ambitious volley from 30 yards out. It goes wide and the Gunners are out.

  4. 92'

    Three minutes of stoppage time is nearly up and Spurs can crank up the party, they're indulging in verse upon verse of 'Que sera sera' at present.

  5. 91'

    Ooh, Defoe has missed a sitter! Huddlestone galloped forward, Gilberto's challenge broke the ball towards Defoe who was unmarked ten yards out but he fired three yards wide. Awful effort.

  6. 90'

    Good chance for Hoyte there as Eduardo found him in the box, but Chimbonda blocks well.

  7. 89'

    Another super Spurs move only spoiled by the linesman's flag as Boateng strayed offside.

  8. 88'

    Spurs may face another bogey team in the final as Chelsea take on Everton in the second semi-final tomorrow night.

  9. 86'

    Ramos still looks the epitome of cool in the dug out amid all the unbridled passion surrounding him.

  10. 85'

    The noise returns now as the Spurs fans realise their cup dream is within touching distance. I've not heard at atmosphere like it at the Lane, in fact, I didn't think they were capable of it.

  11. 84'

    Adebayor is lucky to stay on the field there after a hand to the face of Young-Pyo Lee. The Spurs man did make a meal of it though.

  12. 83'

    Now Arsenal are imploding, William Gallas and Niklas Bendtner are squaring up against one another. Their team-mates seperate them just in time.

  13. 82'

    Boateng gives away a free-kick on the edge of the box out to the left wing. A big chance for Arsenal from a nice angle.

  14. 81'

    Less than ten minutes left for Arsenal's version of Mission Impossible.

  15. 80'

    Arsenal are happy to leave just Gilberto back against Defoe now but the Brazilian wins that duel as a long ball looked for the pint-sized striker.

  16. 79'

    Arsene Wenger looks resigned to his fate now, but it will only be his second defeat at the Lane in 14 games. Not bad eh?

  17. 78'

    By the way, all three of tonight's FA Cup third round replays have gone to extra time, including Bristol Rovers v Fulham. Interesting.

  18. 76'

    Its all being played in front of Spurs' penalty area now. Ten men behind the ball for the home side.

  19. 75'

    A yellow card for Adebayor there as he upends Jenas. A substitution too, Huddlestone on for Lennon. Ramos is content to shut up shop, and why not..

  20. 74'

    Arsenal have gone completely gung ho now, effectively playing 2-6-2. Will it pay off or might they leave the door open for more humiliation?

  21. 73'

    Now a yellow card for Jenas as Eduardo streaked forward. If Arsenal can get another one in the next five minutes or so Spurs may start to wobble here....

  22. 72'

    GOAL! Adebayor rifles in a beauty! Making space for himself on the edge of the box at the expense of Ledley King he then hammers a right footer into the top corner. The comeback is on! Spurs 4-1 Arsenal.

  23. 71'

    First sniff for Adebayor but he was offside when Hleb's slide rule pass found him.

  24. 70'

    Spurs charge forward again on the break but this time Malbranque shoots straight at Fabianski.

  25. 69'

    Arsene Wenger will be devastated should either Adebayor or Eduardo get crocked in the remaining 25 minutes. I'm suprised he's chucked them on to be honest.
