    • Derby County
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • 90+3 All over at Pride Park! The result is harsh on Derby, but Tottenham ran out worthy winners. Thanks for joining us, stay right here for all the rest of the day's action!
    • 90+3 ... He rolls it into the bottom corner to put the gloss on the win!
    • 90+2 PENALTY!! Malbranque's shot hits the arm of Alan Stubbs, and the referee harshly gives a penalty! Berbatov will take it...
    • 90' The fourth official has signalled three additional minutes, which are three too many for Derby!
    • 86' Tottenham have filled their half with players now and are content to hold Derby, who have no answer to their problems.
    • 80' GOAL!! A Tottenham corner deflects over to Chimbonda, who has the time to nod the ball into the path of Kaboul. The centre back feints a shot to beat Todd and then powers a low drive past Carroll to double Tottenham's lead!
    • 77' Derby's final change is to bring on David Jones for Marc Edworthy.
    • 74' The impressive Savage is sacrificed to make way for Mile Sterjovski as Paul Jewell is now chasing a point.
    • 73' Some great play by Spurs as Jenas break into the box and SHOOTS... The block is blocked but KEANE ON THE FOLLOW-UP... Great save Carroll! Keane's effort was from almost point blank range!
    • 70' Berbatov is released to chase the ball to the byline. He slips in the box but recovers to win a corner, which SPurs fail to make count.
    • 67' GOAL!! Steed Malbranque's low shot is saved by Carroll, but he palms it right into the path of Keane for the simplest of tap-ins! Carroll has been so good for Derby too!
    • 65' Berbatov has proved the missing link for the Spurs attack, suddenly their approach play is a lot more fluid and penetrative. He feeds in Keane who is about to shoot but Savage slides in with another great tackle.
    • 63' Berbatov lifts a ball into the area and it falls for KEANE... OFF THE POST! The offside flag was up anyway, as Lennon was well offside, but not affecting play.
    • 60' Fagan fires in a cross that Cerny has to tip away from goal. Pearson plays it back in and BARNES... His half-volley from the edge of the box is miscued and goes harmlessly wide.
    • 58' Darren Bent's rare appearance comes to a close as he is replaced by Berbatov. Can the Bulgarian turn things round in time?
    • 57' Kenny Miller is booked for a cynical trip on Jenas.
    • 55' Tottenham certainly look more determined in this half, but Derby are still defending resolutely.
    • 53' Fagan fouls Lennon on the left wing. O'Hara swings it over and Huddlestone is at the far post to control and SHOOT... Another great save by Carroll at the near post!
    • 51' Villa works his way into a good position and looks set to shoot before Kaboul steals in to snatch the ball from him. Spurs break forward and Alan Hutton is in the area and will SHOOT... Blazed wide! Dimitar Berbatov is wrming up on the sidelines.
    • 48' Chimbonda goes into the book for an over-zealous challenge on Marc Edworthy.
    • 46' Juande Ramos also noticed the stinker that Boateng was having, and brought on O'Hara at half time for the German.
    • 46' Derby head straight for the Spurs and the ball is nodded down for MILLER TO VOLLEY... Deflected over for a corner! SPurs deal with the set piece well and the danger passes.
    • 46' Derby kick off the second half.
    • 45+3 Half time called at Pride Park, and the home side have been better.
    • 45+2' Savage flicks a header on and Miller charges towards the Spurs goal. Huddlestone sweeps in to intercept. Savage is still on the ground after the ariel clash with Boateng who, by the way, has been awful.
    • 45+1' Robbie Savage overhits a corner and Huddlestone heads clear. Craig Fagan charges down Bent's hooked clearance and gets it full in the face!
    • 43' The first half has descended into something of a midfield scrap as it draws to a close.
    • 38' Dean Leacock is the first man to go into the referee's book for a foul on Malbranque, whio goes off to receive treatment.
    • 38' Lennon runs at Edworthy and the full back is floundering. The winger has the option for the pass but keeps going and Spurs will have to settle for a corner. The corner is only half-cleared and falls to JENAS... OVER THE BAR!
    • 35' Jenas controls well with his chest and releases Keane but the Irishman is flagged for offside! Replays suggest otherwise though.
    • 32' Lennon and Hutton combine well to win a corner, but the winger's corner is not a danger. Spurs come again and Lennon gets to the byline and chips it back for KABOUL... He steered the ball on target but straight at Carroll! Keane was right behind Kaboul waiting for it!
    • 30' Bent chases down Malbranque's long ball and squares it back across the edge of the box for Lennon, who tries to jink past Todd and goes down inside the area... NO PENALTY! Referee Martin Atkinson waves the appeals away immediately.
    • 29' Miller collects the ball from a throw and tries his luck from distance... The outswining effort was high and wide and draws ironic cheers from his own fans!
    • 28' Jenas beats Savage for pace and gets to the byline but Savage pulls off a brilliant tackle to stop the cross coming in.
    • 23' Pearson carries it through the middle and slips the ball between the two centre backs and BARNES POKES IT WIDE! He had Cerny sprawling and the goal at his mercy but he stabbed the effort off target! Chance of the match so far!
    • 22' Savage swings in a free kick from the right wing. It goes all the way over to Pearson on the right, who tries to beat Chimbonda but the Frenchman shields it out very well for a goal kick.
    • 19' Spurs win a free kick on the wing. Jenas plays it down to Huddlestone but Villa tracks back well to clear. Spurs have a corner. Lennon takes and it's not cleared properly! Somehow a Derby player nods it safely back to a grateful Carroll!
    • 18' Derby are enjoying a lot of freedom to play at the moment. Spurs look a side playing well within themselves, almost to the point of complacency.
    • 15' Miller latches onto the through ball and is one-on-one with Cerny! OFFSIDE ! That's the second time Miller's jumped the gun already. The SPurs defence were caught flat-footed there.
    • 14' Another early defensive change is made as Younes Kaboul replaces the injured Dawson.
    • 13' Derby take advantage and Pearson powers forward and feeds VILLA... Cerny is equal to the low shot from the Argentinian!
    • 12' Spurs are temporarily down to ten men, as Michael Dawson walks off with a physio.
    • 10' An early substitution here for Derby, as Darren Moore comes off for Andy Todd. Moore jogs off, but we can only assume that he is carrying some sort of injury.
    • 9' Malbranque dummies cleverly and Keane turns and SHOOTS FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX... Saved again by Carroll! The corner is cleared away easily.
    • 7' Darren Bent gets his first chance to stretch his legs. He runs at Moore and beats him and SHOOTS... Carroll gets down at the near post but spills it back towards Bent... The goalkeeper pounces on the loose ball just in time! How Darren Bent must be desperate for a goal!
    • 5' Roy Carroll hoofs a long ball forward. It's knocked into the path of MILLER... Saved at the near post by Cerby. The lineman's flag was up anyway, it wouldn't have counted, but a nice warm-up for the Czech keeper!
    • 2' Giles Barnes powers down the left past Hutton, and the Scotsman blocks the cross for a corner. Savage's corner is headed away.
    • 1' Welcome to LIVE coverage of Derby v Tottenham from Eurosport-Yahoo! The match is underway!
