Spurs trying to see out the game in the Stoke half. Paulinho breaks but Begovic saves his shot.

Stoke piling forward but Spurs standing strong.

Eriksen goes short to Adebayor on the left who just turns to keep possession.

Arnautovic scythes down Kane and they is a yellow card. Eriksen to shoot from range from the free kick.

Kaboul goes on a mazy run into the Stoke half and almost sets up a second.

Shot from distance from Cameron but it flies well over.

Desperate defending from Spurs at the moment who are being run ragged by the ten men. This time Odemwingie takes a shot from distance which Lloris takes two attempts to gather.

BAD MISS! Arnautovic runs through the spurs defence but his shot is weak and misguided as it goes straight to Lloris who clutches it gratefully.

PENALTY SHOUT! Nothing given as Dawson goes to ground in the box with Odemwingie running at pace but it looks like the pair of them just slipped.

Nzonzi finds space away from Paulinho on the right. He rifles a low cross across the face of goal but there is noone on the end of it to tap it in.

Townsend still hobbling about on the pitch. He looks horribly uncomfortable. Arnautovic released on the right. He gets beyond Fryers but his shot is awful as it goes well high and wide.

Stoke dictating the ball at the moment. Ball played line to Assaidi but Dawson does well to usher the ball out of play.

Townsend carries the ball on the right before being clattered by Pieters with a hard but fair tackle. The winger is feeling the effects.

Stoke with the ball trying to work something but Spurs are diligent in their defensive duties.

Wilson heads it straight to Sigurdsson who goes on a mazy run to the edge of the area but his shot is a pearoller which goes wide.

Stoke try and work something on the right but Fryers does well to clear. Townsend rolls Pieters on the right but his cross is wayward and cleared with ease.

Whelan pulls back Sigurdsson on the edge of the area and it is a foul. Definitely Cristian Eriksen range as the Danish midfielder puts the ball down. Lennon also comes off for Townsend. Eriksen hits it right footed just over the cross bar.

Spurs finally showing some control. Just popping the ball about and keeping possession. That's all they need to do against ten men.

Fryers header goes straight to Whelan who crosses low but Kaboul clears.
