That's four wins out of four for Tottenham this season and once again they are safely through to the Europa League group stage. It has been a pretty straightforward qualifying campaign for Spurs, but it will get tougher from here onwards.
21:29 Substitution Lewis Holtby finally gets on the pitch with just over 10 minutes left.
21:13 GOAL Tottenham 3-0 AEL Limassol (agg 5-1) - Andros Townsend pen (65 mins)
Superb stuff from Andros Townsend as he puts the penalty away into the corner with the goalkeeper having committed himself the wrong way. Tottenham are into the Europa League group stage.
21:13 PENALTY to Tottenham Tottenham 2-0 AEL Limassol (agg 4-1)
Kyle Naughton's cross inside the area is handled by Edmar and Tottenham can finish this off now...
20:57 GOAL Tottenham 2-0 AEL Limassol (agg 4-1) - Paulinho (49 mins)
Game over....surely. Spurs midfielder Paulinho, who hunted back possession for Harry Kane's opener, is now the beneficiary. The Brazilian collects Vlad Chiriches' pass, jinks into the AEL box and fires low across the keeper into the bottom corner.
HALF TIME Tottenham 1-0 AEL Limassol
20:29 GOAL Tottenham 1-0 AEL Limassol - Harry Kane (45 mins)
He has had chances but finally Harry Kane finds the back of the net. A mistake by the Limassol defence allows Paulinho to take possession and he feeds the ball into the path of Harry Kane, who sweeps home with a low shot. Deserved.
19:56 MISSED PENALTY Tottenham 0-0 AEL Limassol
Limassol's substitute goalkeeper Pulpo Romero's first contribution is to keep out Harry Kane's penalty with his legs. It was a solid spot kick, but did the seven-minute delay affect Kane?
19:56 YELLOW CARD Tottenham 0-0 AEL Limassol
Karim Fegrouch is lifted on to the stretcher and carried off. The referee shows him a yellow card as he is taken off. Harry Kane to take the penalty..
19:50 Penalty to Tottenham
Kyle Naughton chases a ball into the box and goalkeeper Karim Fegrouch races off his line and takes out the Spurs defender inside the area. The Limassol keeper is down injured though.
