  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • Hull City
    • 90+3' Hull have done it again. They've beaten North London opposition for the second time in a week, and Spurs are rooted firmly to the bottom of the table.
    • 90+3' Free-kick to Spurs after Zokora is brought down 30 yards from goal. Bentley is over it...Bale hits it...and it's past the post!!! AND THERE'S THE FINAL WHISTLE!!!
    • 90+2' Hull have taken the ball to the corner and the clock is ticking down.
    • 90+2' Modric clips the ball in to a crowded Hull area...but Campbell loses the ball, gives away a free-kick, and the stadium is beginning to empty. Spurs are about to crash to yet another defeat.
    • 90' Giovani picks up the all in the area...but is tamely dispossesed, and now Hull break!
    • 87' Spurs are looking a lot worse for Lennon's withdrawal. Giovani has done nothing so far.
    • 84 Spurs are running out of time to turn this one around. Now Campbell goes down in the area under Zayette's challenge...but no penalty. Campbell is furious.
    • 79 Marlon King is replaced by Caleb Folan.
    • 74' Marlon King is through...and Gomas makes a vital save! What a chance to put the game to bed!
    • 73' Awful challenge on Lennon by Halmosi! Free-kick to Hull. Lennon is booked for that...and is now being replaced by Giovani dos Santos.
    • 69' Lennon lays it off for Jenas on the right,he crosses for Bent...but he takes an extra touch and allows the defender to come across and make the block!!
    • 67' A deep Lennon cross picks out Woodgate at the back post, but he can only head straight at Myhill.
    • 65' Bentley lets fly from the left...but misses the target with his rising effort!
    • 64' Cross from Bentley...and Campbell heads past the post!!! Another miss for Spurs!
    • 63' Bentley chops down Geovani. Free-kick. The pressure on Hull is relieved.
    • 62' Nice combination from Bentley and Modric from a corner is followed up by a terrible cross from the Croat.
    • 60' Modric with a glorious ball over the top of the defence for Darren Bent...but it's past the post by a matter of millimetres!!! Bent timed his run to perfection there, but the finish was just ever so slightly off.
    • 56' Chris Gunter is replaced by David Bentley. Ramos clearly wants more quality delivered into the box.
    • 54' Woodgate hoofs a long clearance up the field for Bent to chase...but he can't get there. Cue more groans.
    • 50' Modric gives possession away right in the middle of midfield. Cue a round of groans around the stadium.
    • 48' Bent gets his head to the deep corner and knocks it back across goal, and it narrowly misses Corluka on its way through to the 'keeper. The Croat seemed to be slightly disorientated there.
    • 47' Lennon skins Dawson down the right, but Dawson gets in a superb challenge to knock it out for a corner.
    • 46' We're underway in the second half at White Hart Lane.
    • 45+2' There's half-time, and the boos ring round White Hart Lane! Spurs are losing again, and Hull are halfway there after a wonder strike from Geovani.
    • 45+1' Bale with the inswinger...straight into the arms of Myhill. Awful.
    • 45' Geovani brings down Gunter. Free-kick on the right for Spurs.
    • 43' Hull break at speed and have a two on two...but Jenas makes the block! Now Spurs go straight down the other end...Lennon picks out Wooodgate who must score...BUT IT DEFELCTS OFF A HULL DEFENDER AND ONTO THE POST!!!
    • 42' Bale with a cross as Spurs have Hull stretched...but it's a poor ball in! The quality of delivery into the box from Spurs is awful. They have worked themselves into plenty of good positions, but have almost always picked out a Hull defender with crosses.
    • 40' Marlon King now forces a sharp save from Gomes with a vicious shot. Spurs are an absolute shambles.
    • 38' Campbell wins Spurs a corner now. Bale trots across to take it. Bale curls it in...but it's cleared by the first man!
    • 37' The ball falls to Marney on the edge of the area, he turns sharply...AND HITS THE INSIDE OF THE POST!!! Gomes was rooted to the spot there!
    • 36' Lennon is the one man who looks capable of making things happen for Spurs. He goes past a couple of men before feeding Campbell, he cuts inside and shoots, but it's comfortable for Myhill.
    • 35' Bent replaced Pavlyuchenko, who looked to injured after an awkward fall.
    • 34' Jenas goes scything into Zayette...and clatters the big man!! Jenas is rightly booked for that.
    • 31' Spurs now have a free-kick in the Hull half which Bale strikes at goal...but Myhill has it covered. He was trying to catch the 'keeper out there.
    • 30' Terrible shot there from Modric. High and wide.
    • 29' Gomes spills a shot from Dean Marney...and just manages to rush out and claim it with King looking to pounce.
    • 25' Modric is tugged down right on the edge of the area...but the referee waves play on!!! Modric is furious at the linesman.
    • 22' Gareth Bale strikes it from all of 40 yards...and Myhill tips it onto the bar!!!! Another incredible strike!!! It was on its way in!!
    • 19' The tempo has slightly dropped from the game now after a very frenetic first 15 minutes, though Aaron Lennon has just won Spurs a free-kick after having his shirt pulled.
    • 15' Jenas wins a free-kick for Spurs. It's played short for Campbell, he tries to bustle through...but he's muscled out of it.
    • 13' Spurs on the attack again...they win a corner. Jenas whips is in....but Hull do enough to put Campbell off. Goal kick.
    • 9' Spurs go stright down the other end and it falls for Lennon in the area...but he scuffs his shot.
    • 9' Geovani picks out the top corner!!!! WHAT A STRIKE!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!! HULL ARE 1-0 UP AND SPURS ARE STUNNED!!!!
    • 6' Corluka goes straight into the back of King and Hull have a free-kick 35 yards from goal. Surely too far for Geovani...though he might think otherwise.
    • 5' Lennon goes straight past his man, a scramble in the area...Campbell is trying to poke iot home, Hull can't get it clear...it falls for Pavlyuchenko...SAVED!!! What a start! Both defences are a mess.
    • 4' Massive chance for Hull as Cousin feeds Geovani...and he's missed!!!!! What a chance for the visitors!!! He had only RObinson to beat.
    • 2' Boateng with a long range effort for Hull that deflects off Woodgate...but Gomes gathers. The wet pitch will certainly make life difficult for goalkeepers on low shots.
    • 1' Cleared off the line already!!! It was Bale with the snap-shot in the box!
    • 1' Campbell and Pavlyuchenko get the game underway for Spurs...who rip straight into Hull and win a corner!
    • 14:55 This afternoon Rob Styles is our referee. So expect penalty appeals aplenty from both sides.
    • 14:55 Understandably, Hull have named the same side that beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium last week.
    • 14:55 Darren Bent drops down to the bench for Spurs today, Ramon Pavlyuchenko starts up front alongside Frazier Campbell. Michael Dawson is also dropped, so Chris Gunter comes in at right back and Vedran Corluka moves across to the middle to partner Michael Dawson. It looks like Luka Modric will be shunted out to the left of midfield, though the onus will likely be on Gareth Bale to get forward and provide the majority of Spurs' thrust down that side.
    • 14:50 The weather here in North London matches Tottenham's form. Which is to say, atrocious. Rain is teeming down and it's going to be a slippery-slidy afternoon for the players.
