Welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of the Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City at White Hart Lane!

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

The final whistle blows on what could be a pivotal result in the race for that final Champions League spot. Arsenal and Everton are still playing, and if the Gunners hang on to their lead they will go third.

Van der Vaart's first league goal of 2012 wont stop Tottenham dropping to fourth int he league, but it looks like it will at least end their dismal run of defeats.

GOAL!! TOTTENHAM 1-1 STOKE!! Bale curls in a lovely cross and Van der Vaart guides it past Begovic with a glanced diving header!

As they have done all evening, Stoke dominate as they defend a corner.

Bale hits a low strike from range which Begovic parries and Stoke have to scrmable behind for a corner!

Five minutes of added time to be played. An excited murmur goes around the ground. There is hope for Spurs yet.

Nelsen concedes a foul out wide on the right. Pennant plays it to Crouch in the hope he can shield it in the corner.

Great tracking back from Defoe, who wins the ball for Modric. The Croatian slips the ball through for Van der Vaart, whose left-footed effort is again easy for Begovic.

Stoke rarely look more comfortable than when they have a lead to defend in the final minutes of a match, and so it is proving here. Spurs appear to be running out of ideas.

If the score stays like this, then Spurs will have only scored one goal in their last three league games.

Tottenham substitution: Ryan Nelsen replaces King.

Stoke substitution: Rory Delap replaces Jerome.

King is receiving treatment on the pitch for a bloody nose. a nice metaphor for what Jerome's goal has given them this evening.

Tottenham last lost four PL matches in a row during a PL club record six-match losing streak from October to November 2004.

Van der Vaart's delivery is headed away at the near post and the Dutchman fouls Pennant as Stoke launch the counter. That's a booking, all day long.

Giovani wins a free-kick near the byline on the right. He's only been on a few minutes but he's got grass stains all over the back of his shirt already!

Assou-Ekotto sneaks the ball into Van der Vaartin the box. The Dutchman shoots on the turn but his effort is an easy stop for Begovic.

According to the stats, Spurs have had 92% of the possession in the last five minutes!

That's Jerome's seventh goal of the season, and his first in two months. It came so soon after Bale hit the bar. Can Spurs recover?
