17:50 YELLOW CARD - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Soldado
17:37 SUBSTITUTION - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
The White Hart Lane faithful don't like it. Creative fulcrum Christian Eriksen is sacrificed to make way for Roberto Soldado as Tim Sherwood goes two up front.
17:35 YELLOW CARD - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Mathieu Flamini scoops away Christian Eriksen's ankles as the Dane gets away from him on the left. It brings a possible Spurs counter to an early end and ensures his place in Mike Dean's little black book.
17:30 YELLOW CARD - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Jan Vertonghen gives away a free-kick and picks up a booking as he goes in heavily on Santi Cazorla. It almost gets a lot worse for the Dutchman but he gets away with a sly tug on Laurent Koscielny's shirt from the set-piece. That could easily have been a penalty.
17:25 SUBSTITUTION - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Arsenal replace goalscorer Tomas Rosicky with Mathieu Flamini. Is that Arsene Wenger locking the game down? Twenty minutes remain...
17:24 SUBSTITUTION- Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Changes afoot. First Tottenham replace Sandro with Paulinho and Nacer Chadli with Gylfi Sigurdsson....
HALF TIME Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
16:45 YELLOW CARD - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Kieran Gibbs leaves his studs in on Andros Townsend and has his name taken by Mike Dean.
16:31 YELLOW CARD -Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal
Nacer Chadli is booked for a hack at the heels of Tomas Rosicky and Sandro is fortunate not to join him as he grabs Mike Dean on the shoulder to defend his team-mate.
Dean reacted like Sandro had just placed something unmentionable on his lapels,
16:21 YELLOW CARD - Sagna
Tottenham fans and players are baying for red and Bacary Sagna's tackle on Danny Rose is none too clever, sending the Tottenham full-back into a full flip with pike. Sagna went in very hard but did get a snip of ball and that probably saves him.
Mike Dean produces yellow from his top left.
16:01 GOAL - Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal - Tomas Rosicky
An absolute grade-A thunderbolt from the left peg of Tomas Rosicky. Arsenal's first attack seems to have floundered on a piece of miscontrol from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but Rosicky thrashes a laser-like shot straight down the barrel and into the top corner from the angle. What a start.
