Play by play

90'
It's all over - Tottenham have won, but so have Arsenal. Both clubs triumphed 1-0, which means Arsenal, and not Tottenham, claim the fourth and final Champions League place. A dramatic afternoon and a wonderful goal for Bale but, ultimately, no joy for AVB and the men from White Hart Lane, and there are glum faces in the stands here.
90'
Lloris has the ball. Less than a minute left. Last chance for something to change at Newcastle. Back in London N17, Defoe has a shot blocked.
90'
Sunderland give away a free-kick, and Spurs are happy to have possession. Nails are being bitten all over White Hart Lane.
90'
Theo Walcott, clean through at Newcastle, hits the post when he could have sealed fourth place for Arsenal.
90'
There will be four added minutes at both White Hart Lane and Newcastle, where Arsenal still lead 1-0.
90'
Magnificent stuff from Bale, who has done that so often this season. Another in his collection of stunning strikes.
89'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> GOAL: Out of nothing, Tottenham have the lead - and inevitably, it's Bale. He thunders in an astonishing effort from 30 yards. Mignolet helpless. Now, can Newcastle score?
88'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Wickham is off - he's had a decent game - and another Sunderland youngster, Adam Mitchell, is coming on.
88'
Adebayor is crowded out for another corner. Huddlestone takes, Adebayor meets it, but the header has too much loop on it and sails over.
87'
Yet another Tottenham corner, but it's all feeling flat now. The hope has all but evaporated.
86'
Free-kick for Sunderland on half-way - Wickham fouled. The noise now is coming from the Sunderland fans. Their heroes can't make anything of the free-kick, though.
85'
Bale and Dembele work the ball to Sigurdsson, lurking on the left. He's crowded out, and when possession makes its way to Lennon on the other side, the same happens to him.
84'
Sigurdsson immediately has a shot when the ball ricochets to him - Larsson blocks and Mignolet clutches the follow-up.
83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Gylfi Sugurdsson is on for Assou-Ekotto - a final throw of the dice for AVB.
83'
Dawson fires the ball to Lennon - when it's played back to Adebayor he tries to turn and is crowded out inside the area. Seven minutes to go, and one more change looks imminent for Spurs...
82'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif">Dembele, on for Parker, puts a low cross in. Again, no joy for Spurs.
81'
Not much - more excellent defending from Sunderland. Lennon crosses it back in and Bale hits a snap volley from the edge of the box. Again, the handling from Mignolet is rock-solid.
80'
But they have another one - this time on the left, and in another good crossing position. What can they make of this?
79'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> And a booking for the Sunderland substitute. Bale floats the free-kick in. It's far too long, and utterly harmless.
79'
Mandron brings down Bale on the Tottenham right. Another free-kick for Spurs...
78'
They have 12 minutes to find the goal they crave and then hope - desperately - for a Newcastle favour.
77'
Adebayor links well with Bale, whose cross-shot is easy for Mignolet. Clear signs of frustration among the players in white.
76'
Defoe steers the ball out to Bale, who puts yet another cross in and sees yet another cross cleared.
76'
Bale stands over the free-kick, which is about 30 yards out and to the right. He gives it a blast, and steers it well over.
75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> And Vaughan is booked for the second time - that's a red card, and Sunderland must play the final 15 minutes with only ten men.
