    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • Arsenal
    • 90+3' That's it and Spurs will go to Wembley where they will play Everton or Chelsea on February 24.

    • 90+1' Fabregas' long-range effort is plucked out of the air by Cerny.
    • 90' Huddlestone bursts into the area and the ball falls to Defoe who puts the simplest of chances past the far post.
    • 88' Hoyte's shot is blocked by Chimbonda.
    • 86' Spurs boss Juande Ramos has a formidable record in knock-out competitions after winning the UEFA Cup twice with Sevilla as well as the Spanish Cup and is close to leading his side out at Wembley.
    • 83' Adebayor flicks his hand out at Young-Pyo Lee who goes down easily. Howard Webb gives him a warning rather than a second yellow.
    • 81' Bendtner and Gallas have a heated exchange in the penalty area - frustrations boiling over for Arsenal.
    • 79' Bendtner looks to burst into the Spurs penalty area but Chimbonda calmly dispossesses him.
    • 77' Chimbonda's centre causes consternation in the Gunners defence before they scramble clear.
    • 74' Tom Huddlestone replaces Lennon.
    • 73' Adebayor goes into the book for a trip on Malbranque.

    • 65' Eduardo and Emmanuel Adebayor are on for Traore and Walcott - but it's too late for Arsenal.

    • 62' Traore goes into the book for a nasty tackle from behind on Keane.
    • 60' GOAL!!! Icing on the cake for Spurs as a quick counter sees Keane feed Lennon on the right-hand side of the penalty area and he calmly plants the ball between Fabianski's legs.
    • 57' Ledley King rises high to head Traore's cross from the left.
    • 54' Arsenal's 21 match unbeaten run against their north London rivals - a run stretching way back to 1999 - looks about to end.

    • 38' Abou Diaby cuts inside from the left flank and unleashes a fierce shot but again it's just over the crossbar.
    • 36' Berbatov causing mischief down the right flank but Hoyte clears after Traore was bamboozled.

    • 31' Cerny tips Sagna's near post header over the crossbar.

    • 7' Tottenham force the first corner of the match via Robbie Keane's determination.
    • 5' Denilson goes down untouched, he seems to have pulled something and it could mean an early introduction for Cesc Fabregas.
    • 3' GOAL!! What a start for Tottenham as Jermaine Jenas picks up the ball in midfield, he is allowed to run at the Arsenal defence and fires a 20-yard shot in-off the far post.
    • 2' Arsenal have all the early possession but Gilberto Silva fires his shot way over the crossbar.
    • 1' We are underway at a noisy White Hart Lane, remember it's 1-1 from the first leg.
