Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

Villa just lumping it in now and Spurs clear, Jenas winning a free-kick on the right wing. Hutton takes his time, indeed passing it to Dawson and it's all over! Spurs hold on to fifth place, one point off Chelsea.

Gomes flies out to punch weakly clear as Collins attacks a high ball! Like a clown! Back to the wall for Spurs!

Modric hobbles off to eat up some more time, Vedran 'Charlie' Corluka coming on in his place.

Gomes booked for time-wasting.

LICHAJ INTO THE SIDE NETTING! Super ball in from Albrighton on the move and Lichaj holds off Kaboul but, from a tight angle, cannot squeeze it in.

Modric is down with cramp after colliding with Lichaj, Friedel furious that his team-mates are helping a man clearly faking it.

Panic in the Spurs box as Petrov hits a low ball at Gomes, but he holds on with Agbonlahor flying in.

Four minutes added time being played.

Pires is kicking off with Harry Redknapp on the Spurs bench, no love lost for the ex-Gooner.

SPURS SUB: Jenas comes on for Lennon. Petrov is bandaged up now.

The all-action Gareth Bale fancies this, from over 30 yards, and he curls it inches wide with Friedel beaten! He's not bad.

Crouch slips the ball wide to Lennon, who cuts inside and is brought down by Agbonlahor who will be booked.

Palacios catches Pires a bit late and tries to apologise but the Frenchman isn't having it. Petrov, meanwhile, has to go off after cutting his eyebrow in a clash with Crouch.

Gary Mac is bellowing orders from the bench with Houllier looking a touch more reserved.

Petrov shoots wastefully over, row Z for that one.

Villa have a corner on the left which Gomes again flaps at, palming it away to the edge of the box, but this time he isn't punished.

Villa back in this! A freak goal from Albrighton to capitalise on Gomes's weakness - dealing with crosses.

Albrighton on the left now, he curls in a brilliant cross that Collins dives in to attack but it flies straight in! Gomes caught in no-man's land, poor keeping as he first came then panicked and backtracked.

Agbonlahor with a good high cross, it drops to Pires but Spurs clear with no-one able to get a shot away.
