Play by play
- 90'
The last action. Goalless in Eastlands and City will rue a victory that got away. Spurs will be happy enough with their first point post-Hoddle
- 90'
One last crack from Spurs and Keane almost latches onto a looping ball in the box - but Seaman can gather to the relief of most of the stadium
- 90'
Jihai thumps it forward for Fowler, whose touch drops for Anelka. A ricochet and it's back with Fowler to unleash a powerful left-footed strike, just wide of Keller's left post. Good effort
- 90'
Two minutes to be added. Spurs holding on
- 89'
Wright-Phillips dinks one over the top but Fowler mis-hits the right-footed volley. Horribly high and wide

Anderton heads behind before volleying the second corner clear from the near post

McManaman, feeling his hamstring, is replaced by Reyna in City's final substitution
- 84'
Sommeil does just enough to prevent Kanoute reaching Dalmat's prod down the inside left of the box

- 82'
Anderton takes the freekick but no-one's at the far post - a waste for Spurs

- 74'
Wanchope looking increasingly desperate, lashing a crude toe-poke well wide of goal

Good ball out wide to Ricketts, but he's wasteful as he looks for Keane in the box
