Play by play
- 95'
Arsene Wenger said before the game if Arsenal didn't win their title dream was over and it surely must be now. Spurs close the gap between them and Man City to one point. A cracking game.
- 95'
Spurs have done it! Their first win over Arsenal in the league for a decade!
- 94'
Bentley gets down the right, cuts inside Clichy and has a go and wins the corner. That could be that.
- 93'
Campbell's long punt forward sees Walcott behind the defence but Gomes is there to meet it.
- 92'
Bendtner wins a header but no-one can latch onto it. Spurs clear and Bale goes for the corner but Campbell nips in.

Tottenham playing entirely on the break now as they soak up this pressure.

Four minutes added...
- 89'
Huge pressure from Arsenal as we move near to stoppage time...
- 88'
Van Persie finds space and has a good strike on goal before Gomes gets across to save. Goal kick given, when it was a clear corner. Crouch on for Pavlyuchenko now.
- 87'
Big chance for Modric as he streaks through the middle. Pavlyuchenko finds him but his touch is heavy and Almunia claims.
- 86'
Spurs are starting to look tired now, and Van Persie has made a big difference.
- 85'
Van Persie spreads the ball wide for Walcott and his cross is turned home by Bendtner. A big last five minutes in store..
- 85'
GOAL! Bendtner!
- 84'
Another incredible save from Gomes! He turns Campbell's bullet header onto the bar now. He's had a unbelievable fibve minute spell.
- 83'
Another brilliant save from Gomes as Van Persie's hammers a shot at the top corner.
- 82'
Great feet from Arsenal as Diaby turns Dawson before the defender brings him down. Yellow card and a free kick on the edge of the box.
- 81'
Some less than convincing punches from Gomes before Van Persie's shot is deflected right into the 'keeper's arms.
- 80'
Confusion from the corner too before Rosicky's deflected shot trickles wide of the post. Another corner.
- 79'
What a save! Diaby floats a ball over the top and Van Persie controls on his chest and volleys at goal but Gomes makes a superb reflex stop.
- 78'
Everyone behind the ball bar Pavlyuchenko for Spurs.
- 77'
Things get ridiculously tight on the edge of the box and Arsenal are running out of time and ideas here.
- 76'
A big cheer as Campbell is penalised for a foul on Pavlyuchenko.
- 75'
Rosicky sums up Arsenal's night as his effort from 30 yards swings woefully wide. Wenger shakes his head on the bench.
- 74'
Another lovely passage of play from Spurs, who look potent down the left with Bale and Assou-Ekotto. Only a good header from Silvestre ends the move.
- 73'
Now Diaby knocks a ball out of play when looking for Clichy. The fight is draining from Arsenal now.
