34'
Now Defoe hits the deck inside the Stevenage box, but the ref says it was a good challenge from Ashton.
33'
Walker wins a throw deep on the right, by the corner flag, from Laird.
32'
Wilson is none too pleased with a goal kick decision. His protests for a corner met with jeers from the home fans.
30'
Foul by Byrom on van der Vaart. Cheeky shirt pull after he fails to win possession from the Dutchman.
29'

Cross in from the right spilled by Day! Defoe should bury the rebound but somehow hits it against the recovering keeper!
28'
Good play by Parker to release Lennon, but though the stand-in captain overlaps around the winger for an option on the right wing, the winger once again takes it too far and Spurs have to settle for a throw.
26'

But now Defoe brings down a raking clearance and in the process gets across the defender... and lashes home the equaliser!

Bryom free-kick headed over by Ashton. That was a serious chance for 2-0.
23'
The delivery from van der Vaart is cleared, but Spurs are still in possession until Defoe clatters Beardsley for a free-kick.
22'
Corner Tottenham now.
21'
Instead, his pull-back is laboured from nearer the byline and hacked away.
20'
Blistering run by Lennon but once again the winger takes a touch too many and misses a golden opportunity to pull it back to one of two open team-mates.
19'
Kaboul's header back to Cudicini JUST arrives with the keeper before Shroot can interject.
18'
Bostwick tries his luck but he too slices an effort wide to the left.
17'
Parker and Henry collide in the middle of the park, but both appear to be okay.
16'
Walker's driven cross is cleared by Roberts.
15'
It takes two defenders to prevent Wilson from bursting into the box from the right.
14'
The away fans are certainly in good voice. Meanwhile, Spurs let possession go to waste on the right wing.
13'
Defoe finds himself in familiar territory: through on goal with an offside flag apparent in the corner of his eye.
12'
Cudicini with the goal kick and Tottenham back on the ball.
11'
Byrom's tail is up when he receives the ball just outside the box, but that shot may well bring him back down to earth when the ball is retrieved from Row Z.
