It will be Suarez who strikes... Hammered wide of the far post! Suarez hit that strike at real pace, and it flashes just off target.

Sandro sends Carroll flying with a late challenge. The Brazilian gets a booking and Liverpool have a free-kick in a great position for a shot. Suarez will fancy this...

Good interplay from Liverpool and the ball is played through for Kuyt, but the Dutchman had strayed a fraction offside.

Skrtel gets his head to the corner but can only get a slight glance on it. Carroll chases the ball out wide but his eventual cross curls out of play before it reaches the far post.

Liverpool really ending the half on a high here, as Dawson has to concede another corner. The set piece is headed away, but great skill from Suarez leads to another corner for the home side.

Maxi Rodriguez hits the deck under Kaboul's challenge far too easily! Kabouil waves an imaginary card at the referee, who doesn't take the bait.

Great tackle from Rose! Suarez cut inside the box and had the beating of King, but Rose slid in well to deny the Uruguayan a shot on goal. Corner to Liverpool.

Dawson and Crouch leap together to meet Modric's corner, and it is the striker who sends his effort wide.

Spurs clear the corner but Liverpool come again. Martin Skrtel lifts a ball across the six-yard box and Carroll heads way over the bar at the far post! The £35m man should have at least tested Cudicini from there!

Johnson is sent the long way round by Younes Kaboul, and the England full-back goes down inside the area under the Spurs man's muscular challenge. Corner to Liverpool.

Flanagan again beats Pienaar to the punch, this time winning the race to a loose ball and sparking a Liverpool attack.

Tottenham have had 67 per cent of the possession in thelast five minutes.

Nice football from Liverpool as they stream forward. Suarez squares to Spearing, who pings it out to Johnson. Spearing gets the ball back inside the box but drags his shot well wide!

Crouch flicks on Cudicini's long ball into the path of Lennon, whose first touch runs away from him and Johnson tidies up.

Dawson passes the ball right to Suarez, but fortunately for him the Uruguayan was taken by surprise and gives it right back!
