Tottenham's hopes of playing European football next season were dealt a blow after a goalless draw against Everton at a soggy Goodison Park. More
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...
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...
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!
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!
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!
55' Hutton goes into the book for a challenge on Rodwell, who amazingly escapes a booking himself, despite an over-the-top reaction!
46' Here we go again! Back underway at Goodison!
45'+3 There goes the half-time whistle! Goalless at the break...
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!
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!
7' Bale centres for Spurs... it's only half-cleared, as far as Keane! But his shot is blocked by Yobo!
