    Time:90'
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • PSV Eindhoven
    • 90+4' It ends 1-0 PSV, and that crucial away goal could well be the difference between the two sides at the end of this tie. Thanks for joining us, see you for the second leg!
    • 90+3' A frantic final few minutes, but Spurs can't convert any of their possession into one final chance. PSV have stifled the home side well, and it looks like they'll have the advantage when the reconvene back in the Natherlands next week.
    • 90' Afellay comes off for Otman Bakkal as PSV look to wind down the clock.
    • 89' Berbatov controls, turns and fblasts a shot... Saved by Gomes! The keeper got down quickly to parry the effort. An now Keane picks Marcelis's pocket and SHOOTS... Gomes spread himself well at the near post.
    • 87' Afellay shoots. The shot is palmed to KRONKAMP.. The header goes in off the underside of the bar! But wait, he was offsdie! A sigh of relief goes round White Hart Lane!
    • 86' Taraabt plays across a pinpoint cross that O'HARA VOLLEYS... JUST WIDE OF THE FAR POST!! Berbatov slid in but couldn't get a touch!
    • 85' Farfan's work is over as he's replaced by Dzudzsak.
    • 82' Spurs yet another free kick in a shot-worthy area. O'Hara takes it, but a groan goes around the ground as it goes into the stands.
    • 81' Lazovic has the ball at his feet. He drives at goal and nutmegs one man before shaping the shoot... EXCELLENT TACKLE FROM WOODGATE! An inch-perfect sliding tackle!
    • 80' Farfan breaks down the right, and Chimbonda has to clear away another cross for a corner! Simons goes down in the area, but the free kick goes against him for a foul on Zokora! A nervy few minutes for Spurs.
    • 79' Chimbonda has to get his head to a whipped cross before Lazovic at the far post! The resulting corner is punched clear by Robinson.
    • 78' Koevermans is replaced by Danko Lazovic for PSV.
    • 77' Kronkamp is all alone on the wing and he puts in a low cross that's headed for Koevermans. Woodgate intercepts but it falls for FARFAN... TIPPED WIDE BY ROBINSON!!
    • 75' Taraabt plays Lennon in space in the midfield, and the winger zips forward into more space and SHOOTS... Wide and over!
    • 74' Ledley King makes way for skilful teenage midfielder Adel Taraabt. Can the young Frenchman finally announce his arrival at Spurs?
    • 71' The sting has gone out of this one, depsite Tottenham trying the crank up the urgency of their play. Huddlestone tries a Berbatov-esque flicked pass forward for Keane, but Simons is there to cover, as he has been for much of the match.
    • 67' Marcelis impedes Berbatov, and Spurs have another set piece around the edge of the box. Berbatov and Huddlestone lurk with intent. Huddlestone hits it... Agian straight into the wall. Berbatov floats the ball back into the box for CHIMBONDA... Headed over the bar! It was as if the Frenchman had too much time at the far post!
    • 66' The change is made, and Huddlestone is on. There has been another goal in Florence, is it Fiorentina or Everton? Check out our live coments on that game to find out.
    • 62' Jermaine Jenas is down in agony in the centre circle, and PSV sportingly kick the ball out of play. It seems that the England midfielder landed awkwardly after a late tackle from Edison Mendez. Tom Huddlestone is getting ready to come on. It doesn't look as though Jenas will play any further part in this match.
    • 58' Spurs have another free kick, this time out on the right. O'Hara plays it in but it goes over everyone. PSV will be happy is they keep on facing set pieces like this!
    • 56' Edison Mendez blocks off Zokora and concedes a free kick in a good area for the shot. Jenas and O'Hara stand over the ball... Jenas STRIKES... Straight into the wall.
    • 55' Lennon drives forward and flicks the ball out to Berbatov, but the Bulgarian's ball in for Keane is neither cross nor shot.
    • 53' Farfan has time and space to have a shot, which is blocked well by O'Hara. Farfan goes into the book for remonstrating over a non-existent handball.
    • 50' Spurs soak up the pressure and Chimbonda wins the ball and plays it long down the right for Jenas to chase. His pace gets him there ahead of Marcelis, but as he knocks the ball to Gomes as he stretches to get a cross in to Keane.
    • 48' O'Hara looks to have been identified as a man to pressure by PSV, as they send two or three passes out to the right wing early in the half, forcing a corner from the little midfielder.
    • 46' The second half is underway, and it will be a nervy one for Spurs, while PSV look rather comfortable.
    • HT Ramos does indeed end Gilberto's nightmare debut early, and will bring on Jamie O'Hara for the second half at the Brazilian's expense.
    • 45+1 Half time is called at White Hart Lane. Spurs have had all of the ball, but PSV converted the best chance of the match. Don't be surprised if Gilberto doesn't emerge for the second half!
    • 45' Keane is fed in with his back to goal. He turns and holds off two men and SHOOTS... GREAT SAVE GOMES!! Keane is appealling for a penalty, saying his shirt was tugged, but nothing doing.
    • 44' Chimbonda is completely outstripped for pace by Culina, and brings him down cynically. A deserved booking.
    • 43' Malbranque, Keane, Lennon and Berbatov all combine for a wonderful one-touch move that sets up MALBRANQUE... Blasted well wide, but it was wonderful football from Tottenham!
    • 40' Gilberto commits another foul in a dangerous position. Ramos will be having words with him at half time at the very least! The free kick is swung in and misses everyone! All it needed was a touch.
    • 39' Lennon scampers into the box but can't get his cross in. Spurs win a corner and it's played back to the taker, Jenas, who puts in a great cross for WOODGATE... He had a free header but put it wide of the far post!
    • 37' Spurs have it with Keane, who plays it out wide to MALBRANQUE.. Deflected behind for a corner!
    • 34' GOAL!! Lennon's free kick is easily cleared and PSV break. the ball runs loose to Gilberto, but the Brazilian dithers in possession and Farfan nicks the ball off him and blasts a shot past Robinson int the top corner! That was a gift for Farfan, and for PSV!
    • 29' Gilberto feeds Malbranque who cuts into the PSV box. The Frenchman's touch eludes him but the ball breaks for GILBERTO... He struck the shot with venom from outside the box, but it was well over the bar. Spurs' first real effort on goal.
    • 27' Farfan will take the free kick himself, in a central position. It curls round the wall but a good foot wide of Robinson's near post. Another good effort from the visitors though.
    • 26' Farfan goes toe-to-toe with Gilberto, who pulls him down desperately! Luckily for Spurs King was back to cover, otherwise it would have been more than a booking for the debutant!
    • 23' Chimbonda zips a first-time pass to Jenas, who then knocks it to Malbranque. It all looks very good, but there is too much pace for them to continue in that way and they eventually lose possession.
    • 21' Simons fouls Zokora, and now Woodgate and King are in the box again. Jenas's free kick is too long and Gomes catches. As PSV take their turn to attack, Zokora fouls Afellay and PSV now have a free kick in a goos position. They elct to play it short and the chance is lost.
    • 19' Robinson hoofs the ball upfield and Berbatov brings it down with one touch! He breaks into the box but Simons is there to tackle. Berbatov's touch is worth a star on its own!
    • 17' Malbranque is fouled himself out on the left wing, and Woodgate is coming up for the delivery. Jenas floats the ball in... Woodgate gets a flick on, but the ball loops up and into the arms of Gomes.
    • 15' Malbranque is dispossessed in midfield by Mendez, and the Mexican starts a quick move that ends with Jefferson Farfan having the nigfht's first effort on target, a low shot that's straight at Robinson.
    • 12' Nice move by Spurs, as Jenas dinks a ball over the top for Keane, but the Irishman is offside. Keane complains about the perfectly justifiable flag in characteristic style!
    • 10' Gilberto hits the ball against the referee, and PSV could break. Culina chases the long ball forward, but it goes out of play. PSV look well placed to hit with real pace on the break.
    • 9' Chimbonda, Keane and Lennon combine on the right-hand side, but PSV don't show them a way through, and the ball is played all the way back.
    • 8' Woodgate palys a long high ball forward for Keane to chase out on the wing, but he just can't keep it in.
    • 5' King shoves over Koevermans in midfield. The free kick is taken quickly and Kromkamp is almost in at the byline but is marshalled well by Gilberto.
    • 4' A composed start form both sides, as all 22 players look to get a first touch of the ball before they begin to probe the unfamiliar opposition.
    • 1' Welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of Tottenham Hotspur v PSV Eindhoven in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup! Gilberto makes his Spurs debut at left back, but it's an otherwise pretty familiar line-up. Afellay, Farfan and Mendez are all present in the PSV attack, this one should be a good'un. The match is underway!
