Tottenham Hotspur vs Blackburn Rovers

1. 93'

   FULL-TIME! Spurs take the points, but Rovers emerge with a lot of credit. Great game of football, played in a great spirit. I'm drained.

2. 92'

   ...the ball is worked to Mido, but Freidel flies across his goal and saves.

3. 92'

   TWO-ON-ONE! Spurs break through Lennon, who has Mido in support and only Todd in front of him...

4. 92'

   Jenas eases the pressure as he hoofs clear; Blackburn have got everyone forward now.

5. 90'

   As much as Blackburn have impressed with their dynamism and drive, we must give some credit to Spurs for hanging on and taking a crucial three points.

6. 89'

   OFF THE BAR! Gray steals in at the back post, but his header from 10 yards or so flicks off the top of the crossbar and out for a goal-kick.

7. 88'

   Pongolle has the chance to flick a pass in to the run of Reid, but Dawson reads the danger and heads clear. Good defending from the youngster.

8. 87'

   Blackburn have shown tremendous energy levels this afternoon; they have pressed and harried Spurs when they've not had the ball, and powered forward when they have. It has been a great display, despite the result.

9. 86'

   Spurs are doing their best to close out this game by taking their time over set-pieces and trying to keep possession as best they can.

10. 85'

    Tottenham are preparing their final change, with Defoe warming up on the sidelines.

11. 84'

    ...but instead of putting his foot through it and testing the keeper, he tries to chip the big American and only lifts the ball over the crossbar.

12. 84'

    CHANCE FOR A HAT-TRICK! Keane is left one-on-one with Freidel after a good through ball from the left...

13. 83'

    BLACKBURN SUB: Kuqi replaces Emerton; an attacking change from Hughes, with Kuqi giving Rovers a real physical presence up front.

14. 82'

    Lennon fends off the challenge of Neill as he collects Carrick's pass and cuts in from the left, but his shot is weak and dribbles wide of Freidel's post.

15. 81'

    Savage feeds a good pass in to the run of Bellamy, who tries to flick the ball inside to Pongolle; fortunately for Spurs, the ball deflects off the heels of King to safety.

16. 80'

    Sinama Pongolle is adjudged to have pushed Dawson as he tried to get on the end of Bellamy's flick over the top of the Spurs defence.

17. 79'

    WIDE! Jenas' free-kick flies through the Blackburn wall, but goes just the wrong side of the near post.

18. 79'

    Todd becomes the third booking in the space of a couple of minutes as he is shown the yellow for blocking off Keane.

19. 78'

    TOTTENHAM SUB: Murphy replaces Tiano; it will be difficult for the substitute to pick up the pace of this game; he only has ten minutes or so to impress.

20. 78'

    Reid is booked for a tit-for-tat foul on Lee as the South Korean tried to break past him on the flank.

21. 77'

    Emerton powers in to the penalty area but he can't pick out Pongolle with his pass.

22. 76'

    Blackburn are still pressing and pressing, as they have done for most of this half; they deserve a point at least.

23. 75'

    Lee is booked for bringing down Reid as the winger tried to pass him down the right.

24. 74'

    Keane is furious not to earn a penalty when his flick inside the penalty area strikes Nelsen on the arm.

25. 73'

    There have been some excellent individual performances this afternoon; Dawson, Keane, Reid, Bellamy - they have all been superb.
