  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Everton
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • 90'+3 There goes the final whistle! All over at Goodison and it ends goalless!
    • 90'+1 Pavlyuchenko goes into the book now as time runs out...
    • 89' Two minutes of added time to be played... this one's heading for a draw.
    • 85' Hutton clashes with Baines once again! And again, the crowd want a free-kick! Again the ref waves play on, and again replays show the challenge to have been fair.
    • 83' Jenas is booked now... and he can't have too many arguments about that one...
    • 81' Spurs are going for it now... on comes Pavlyuchenko for Modric...
    • 79' Defoe hares onto a long through ball... but he's flagged for offside and the Everton back line can breathe easy...
    • 77' Fellaini is penalised for a hand ball... and the crowd don't like that one!
    • 75' Hutton goes in on Baines... the crowd want a red card! But the referee waves play on!
    • 72' Pienaar! Another great effort... the South African turns and runs onto the ball before firing a half-volley that swerves the wrong side of the post!
    • 70' Oooh! At the other end, Defoe turns his man and fires a left-foot curler inches wide of the post!
    • 69' And that will be Gosling's last involvement as he's brought off for Osman... Saha also comes on to replace Jo.
    • 68' GOSLING! Ooooh! That should have been the opener! The corner is only cleared as far as the Everton youngster on the edge of the box... he fires into the ground and the ball bounces up and into the post!
    • 67' Good build-up from Everton now... and Baines wins a corner!
    • 66' Looks like Louis Saha is coming on for Everton...
    • 65' Pienaar again involved in the action! Rodwell tees him up for a volley on the edge of the box, but he completely mis-kicks and the chance goes begging!
    • 63' Pienaar threads a lovely ball out to Neville on the far side... but his cross is blocked and put out for a throw....
    • 60' Gomes! Oh dear! He drops a simple cross... but luckily for him, there's no one on hand to punish him and he is able to recover and drop on the ball!
    • 58' Oooh! Cahill! Inches wide of the post with a slightly-sliced right-footed effort from the 25 yards out!
    • 57' Hutton does well to keep the ball in... he feeds Jenas who delivers a great ball into the box... Lescott gets just enough on it to make sure the ball evades Keane!
    • 56' Yobo gets himself in a bit of a tizz in his own box... and under pressure from Hutton, he concedes a corner!
    • 55' Hutton goes into the book for a challenge on Rodwell, who amazingly escapes a booking himself, despite an over-the-top reaction!
    • 54' Brilliant from Defoe, who tracks back and robs Pienaar of the ball before setting Spurs off on a break!
    • 51' Neville looks for the run of Gosling... but the Everton skipper's pass skips off the greasy turf and goes out for a goal kick.
    • 50' Bad news for Everton... Pinaar has stayed down after that challenge... the trainer's on and taking a look at the South African's ankle...
    • 49' Pienaar looks to unlock the Everton defence... but with Jenas tackling like that, he'll never find a way through! Great challenege from the Spurs man!
    • 48' The sun's come out on Merseyside...
    • 47' Great stuff from Pienaar on the Everton left... he backheels to Baines, but crosses to the far post, where Cahill rises to meet it! There's shouts for a penalty, but they're not too strong and play continues!
    • 46' No changes to tell you about at the break...
    • 46' Here we go again! Back underway at Goodison!
    • 45'+3 There goes the half-time whistle! Goalless at the break...
    • 45'+2 Look at Phil Neville! He does a Ronaldo-style stepover to beat his man before playing the ball forward for Jo to run onto... too long though and the ball runs out.
    • 45' That's not a bad cross by Baines... but no one can get on the end of it, and the chance goes begging....
    • 44' Oooh! That's better! Jo and Baines do well to tee up Rodwell, who lets fly from 30 yards! Over the bar, but a little more encouraging from the hosts...
    • 43' Fellaini now lets fly at goal as Everton up their game slightly! Baines heads inside for the big-haired Belgian... he turns but his shot is dragged wide of the mark!
    • 41' Jo is through here after a neat pass from Pienaar... Gomes races off his line! Real chance! But King gets back and blocks the Everton striker's effort on goal!
    • 38' Defoe chases a long ball to the by-line... he gets there but his first touch is poor... he recovers to swing over a high cross into the middle, but Keane's not the biggest and he fails to get there.
    • 37' Redknapp, who is in the stands today, is barking instructions down the blower to Joe Jordan, who in the dugout....
    • 36' Cahill now falls to the ground following a bodycheck by Corluka... that's not a foul, and the referee agrees.
    • 35' Cahill is penalised for a high foot on Lescott... the Aussie doesn't like the decision, but then again, he wouldn't would he?
    • 33' Hutton's getting booed every time he gets the ball now... the crowd didn't like an earlier lunge on Fellaini...
    • 32' Gosling gets forward on the Everton right now... but his cross doesn't cause any undue concern in the Spurs defence and the chance passes.
    • 30' The Everton fans are just beginning to get a little frustrated with their side's efforts so far... Jo tries a little flick which doesn't come off and the crowd voice their concern.
    • 28' Pienaar centres now as Everton venture into the opposition half... his cross hits Huddlestone on the chest, prompting handball shouts from the crowd.... obviously, nothing doing...
    • 27' Everton are just struggling to get out of their own half at the moment... Spurs well on top.
    • 26' King plays it to Modric and the the Croat does well to feed Bale... his cross into the middle causes some confusion... it comes back out before Keane is handed another shooting opoprtunity! But he swings at nothing but air!
    • 24' Modric puts the resulting corner across... but it's easily headed clear...
    • 23' Keane is through here! But Lescott reacts quickly to slide in and make an important challenge!
    • 20' Twenty minutes gone and still no breakthrough...
    • 18' Oooh! The second effort by Bale is much better! It flies just over the bar with Howard looking like he's beaten!
    • 18' Oh dear, Bale fires well over... but he will be allowed to take it again as Pienaar is booked for not getting his yards...
    • 17' Hutton storms forward and Lescott slides in to bring the Scot down! Yellow for the Toffees defender and a free-kick to Spurs, right on the edge of the box!
    • 14' Cahill goes in hard on Jenas... and the Spurs man stays down, apparently hurt.
    • 12' Good stuff from Spurs... Keane gets to the by-line but his cross is plucked out of the air by Howard...
    • 10' Spurs win another corner... Bale takes it... Fellaini makes a bit of a hash of his headed clearance and Spurs retain possession, although not in a dangerous area.
    • 8' It's started chucking it down raining at Goodison Park! That could make things interesting!
    • 7' Bale centres for Spurs... it's only half-cleared, as far as Keane! But his shot is blocked by Yobo!
    • 4' Gosling looks for the run of Jo... but the Brazilian can't make anything of it... the ball finds its way out to Baines... his cross is easily claimed by Gomes.
    • 2' Both teams in their traditional colours today... it's overcast in Liverpool, but perfect playing conditions.
    • 1' Here we go! Underway on Merseyside!
    • - And today's referee is Lee Mason (Lancashire).
