Play by play
- 93'
<b>FULL TIME</b> The easiest possible victory for Tottenham, who reclaim fourth place in the table. Blackburn did not have a single shot on goal, not one. Flabbergasting how poor they were and how little ambition they showed. Surely now, they are going down.
- 91'
The usual long shot from Defoe. Not one of his best.
- 90'
Dos Santos is in on the act as he speeds down the right and crosses but Givet clears. Three minutes added.
- 89'
I wonder how Kean will defend this performance?
- 88'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Last change for Spurs as Defoe comes on for Van der Vaart.
- 87'
Still Blackburn lack options up top. They have nothing to give.
- 86'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Sandro trots off after a good afternoon's work and Livermore comes on.
- 85'
Very nearly Blackburn's first effort on target in the match as Walker sells himself and Olsson crosses but Gallas does well.
- 84'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Lennon finally admits defeat and is replaced by Dos Santos. Blackburn replace Dunn with Goodwillie.
- 82'
A brilliant pass from Modric and Walker manages to keep it in but Givet can clear.
- 81'
This result will be toasted by Bolton, QPR, Aston Villa and Wigan.
- 80'
Blackburn's fans look about as miserable as you can get.
- 79'
This win will take Tottenham into fourth spot on goal difference from Newcastle.
- 78'
A long throw into the box by Pedersen is claimed by Friedel.
- 77'
Walker is fast turning into a cult hero with a brilliant rescue and clearance near his own corner flag.
- 76'
That was a belter. And Blackburn deserve it because they have shown absolutely no fight or attacking intent in the entire match. Now it is probably too late.
- 75'
A stunner of a free kick, right into the top corner, with vicious curl on it. And how predictable was that?
- 75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Walker with a peach!
- 74'
Dunn is late on Lennon, who is still limping. He shouldn't be on the pitch really.
- 73'
Still no sign of the Blackburn onslaught that has to come. This has been woeful from Rovers.
- 72'
Lennon is back on. He needs to make his mind up that lad.
- 71'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Yakubu off?! Blimey. He doesn't look injured. Modeste replaces him.
- 69'
Bale shoots from range and Robinson claims. Lennon is on the turf and that does not look good. He's been limping for about five minutes, having turned his ankle over in a challenge.
- 68'
Walker wins a free kick for Spurs on the right flank.
- 67'
We can only assume they will throw everything at Spurs in the last 20 minutes perhaps.
