Play by play
- 95'
<b>FULL TIME</b> A poor game and a fitting result. Sunderland's tactics made sure it was less than a thriller - they will be happy with a point, Tottenham won't. VDV with their best chance.
- 94'
Kilgallon gets up very well to head the corner clear....
- 94'
Tottenham corner now.
- 93'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Vuaghan booked for a late tackle and a late chance for Spurs to pump it in the box.
- 91'
Bale is back on as Spurs give the ball back to Mignolet from the restart...
- 90'
Bale hobbles off after that Gardner challenge. Three minutes added time...
- 89'
Fantastic tackle from Gardner after Bale had presented the ball, he was the last man and had to get that right. He did.
- 88'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> A yellow for Assou-Ekotto now as he hauls down Sessegnon.
- 87'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Larsson is booked for diving as Kaboul came out to block him. Bit harsh that I think - mot much contact but the leg was thrust out.
- 86'
Do we have a hero on the field?
- 85'
Brilliant delivery and an excellent clearing header from Kaboul.
- 84'
McClean is fortunate to win a free kick after he crept down the left. Another chance for Larsson to whip it in.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Finally, Defoe is on, in place of Van der Vaart.
- 81'
Modric seems fine so the replacement will be made at the next break in play.
- 80'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> More changes, for Sunderland Bardsley is replaced by Kieran Richardson, and for Spurs, Defoe comes on for, well no-one, as Modric is consulted on an injury by Redknapp.
- 79'
Gardner clatters Modric and gives away a free kick. Defoe about to come on now too.
- 78'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Adebayor replaced by Saha.
- 77'
Sessegnon nearly threads a ball into McClean but Gallas hacks clear. This could go either way.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Cattermole goes off, David Vaughan comes on.
- 75'
Better from Sunderland as they get two good balls into the box. They rebuild and McClean wins a corner.
- 74'
Why VDV didn't hit it earlier I don't know - his shot was even heading wide. No penalty for me as it flicked up off Turner's thigh.
- 73'
The clearest chance of the game and Van der Vaart has fluffed it - Modric played him in on goal, he delayed the shot and allowed Turner to get back, his block looks like it flicks his arm but Chris Foy waves play on. Big chance.
- 72'
Cattermole is back on.
- 71'
Cattermole is limping off for treatment - struggling with a knee injury by the looks.
- 70'
A poor cross from Bardsley after he found a decent bit of space on the right side. Three in the box too.
