Gutierrez dribbles past a couple of players, but his shot at goal is blocked by team-mate Peter Lovenkrands.
- 90'
Walker clears to deny Newcastle a final attacking chance. Adebayor given offside from the clearance.
- 90'
Into injury-time now. Game fizzling out after a fine performance from Spurs. Shame for Newcastle that they have struggled without Tiote and Cabaye in midfield.
- 90'
Replays show nothing doing there. Defoe gets up and walks off. No contact at all.
- 89'
Defoe goes down clutching his face, after another tangle with Coloccini.
- 89'
Appeals for a penalty as Modric slips Defoe though. Brought down by Coloccini, but nothing given.
- 87'
Danny Simpson goes in a bit over-eagerly on Adebayor. But, the pair walk away laughing.
- 86'
Defoe breaks down the flank, pulls it back for Adebayor who spanks the ball over the bar from the edge of the box.
- 84'
Spurs are just not letting Newcastle have the ball. A complete display from the Tottenham midfield.
- 83'
Second-chance comes to nothing. Newcastle counter, but Aaron Lennon is on hand to cover back and tidy-up.
- 82'
Modric swings in the free-kick, turned behind for a corner by Danny Simpson. Then deflected for a second corner.
- 81'
Coloccini gives away a dangerous free-kick in the left-back position. Defoe and Coloccini have words after.
- 80'
Modric stings the palms of Tim Krul with a rasping right-foot effort from 20 yards.
- 79'
Adebayor just wide again, this time after great work from Defoe and Krancjar in the build-up.
- 78'
What a save! Brad Friedel denies Demba Ba from close-range, with the Senegalese striker's header goal-bound. Rebound fired over.
- 77'
Assou-Ekotto throwing himself around in kamikaze fashion in defence. Crazy stuff.
- 76'
This is set to be Alan Pardew's heaviest defeat as Newcastle boss. Not a good day for the Geordie faithful.
- 75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ryan Nelsen comes on for Ledley King, who has been outstanding once more.
- 74'
Ryan Nelsen being prepared for a Spurs debut.
- 73'
Adebayor almost grabs a second. Walker's cross from the right is just too high for the Togolese striker, who was sniffing a second.
- 72'
Spurs calming it down once more. A professional second-half display from Harry's men.
- 71'
Joy all around White Hart Lane. Defoe runs down the right, crosses for Adebayor, but it is wayward.
