Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> An exciting end to a game that looked like a home banker in the first half. Rangers did well to mount a fightback in the second and Spurs were nervous at one stage until Bale's pearler settled matters.
- 93'
Off the line from Bale! The corner bounces, is met by Bothroyd and the winger prevents a second for Rangers. Then Mackie is through and denied by Lennon!
- 92'
SWP wins a late corner for the R's.
- 90'
Three minutes added...
- 88'
Barton looks for SWP but Walker does well to win a goal kick.
- 87'
An awful cross from Luke Young when he had all the time in the world to fire it in. Dear me.
- 86'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Sandro replaces Parker, who has been very good.
- 85'
Macike does well to cut inside and find SWP - he looks for a chip to the far post but gets it slightly wrong.
- 83'
SWP and Adebayor collapse in a heap - big man v little man.
- 82'
The game is rather winding down now, but Friedel has to be alert to get to a Barton ball before SWP.
- 80'
Faurlin bangs his effort a yard over the crossbar.
- 79'
Modric trips Helguson and QPR have a free kick 25 yards out. A sniff perhaps?
- 78'
QPR's fans are subdued now after the goal. Spurs deserved it for their first half dominance you have to say.
- 76'
Walker is down after an aerial challenge with Mackie. He landed right on his hip. Nasty.
- 75'
Now Adebayor is flagged offside charging on to Modric's pass.
- 74'
Adebayor seems destined not to score today. Another neat move from Spurs presents him with a chance 12 yards out but he drags it wide of the post.
- 73'
That could knock the stuffing out of Rangers, who have made a good fist of it this half. A superb finish from Bale.
- 72'
What a lovely goal. Neat interchange of passing between Lennon and Bale, allowing the winger to curl his shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. Game over. Again.
- 72'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> A Bale beauty!
- 69'
Ferdinand intervenes as VDV tries to slip a ball in for Adebayor.
- 68'
Spurs take the corner short, Assou-Ekotto shoots and Kenny parries, then Lennon crosses and Ledley King can't get his header on target.
- 67'
QPR are giving Tottenham far less time on the ball and it is paying dividends, though Spurs win a corner now.
- 66'
Now an awful touch from Parker hands QPR a needless corner.
- 65'
Great strike from Faurlin and a fine save from Friedel low down. We do have a game on now!
- 64'
Kenny drops a long free kick from VDV, Adebayor nicks it back for Bale but the 'keeper is back in position to parry his goal-bound drive.
