THAT'S ALL
Two very different halves there, and a 2-2 draw is probably a fair result.
90+3'
DRIFTING
Neither team want to lose this now, and it's showing; though it's Tottenham with the greater urgency.
90'
CORNER TO SPURS
Maddison takes it, but nothing comes; we'll have a minimum of four more minutes.
89'
GOOD BLOCK!
Neat interplay from Perisic and Maddison works the ball to Richarlison near the penalty spot. He opens up to shoot, but Jorgensen gets in the way and the ball ricochets out to the right.
86'
CLOSE!
Jorgensen loops in a half-volleyed cross from the right, which for a second looks like it might drift in after clearing a disoriented Vicario. That was lucky, because he was beaten completely there as it swung out and away from goal.
85'
CROSSING CHANCE AGAIN
Udogie fouls Mbuemo on the right, and Brentford load the box again. Damsgaard takes, but it's another shocker that fails to clear the first man.
84'
FINAL CHANGE FOR BRENTFORD
Jorgensen replaces Ajer.
83'
EASY SAVE
Sarr wins a header at the back post for Spurs, but it drifts softly into the hands of Flekken.
80'
POOR CROSS
Roerslev gets into space down the right, but his cross is too close to Vicario who gathers with ease. We've not got long left here in West London, can either side open this up?
78'
PENALTY YELPS!
Van de Ven and Schade go for a loose ball in the area, with Schade ending up in a heap and Brentford's fans demanding a penalty. It's reviewed, but Van de Ven won that clean as a whistle and on we go.
76'
TROUBLE?
Maddison brings down Damsgaard, just to the right of the Spurs area. Can Brentford get a good ball in here?
In short, no. It's straight to the head of Bissouma at the front stick.

SPURS SUBS
That's it for Skipp and Son, as they're replaced by Sarr and Perisic.

THREE SUBS
Hickey, Norgaard and Wissa depart for Brentford, replaced by Roerslev, Baptiste and Schade.
71'
GREAT BATTLE
One simple ball from Damsgaard gets Mbuemo away down the left. Udogie goes with him stride for stride though, and dispossesses Mbuemo before winning a free kick. He's been impressive today.
69'
CHANGES COMING?
Brentford are looking to freshen this up, because they're being outplayed at the minute. After the fireworks of the first half, this is now a game of cat and mouse that Spurs currently look more likely to edge.
66'
BUSY BEES
Brentford get on the ball a while, their first real, sustained bout of possession in this half, but it comes to nowt when Norgaard plugs a hopeful cross straight into Vicario's hands.
64'
GOOD SAVE AGAIN!
Maddison finds room in the hole again, and slides an angled pass to Richarlison inside the area. Richarlison shoots across goal, and Flekken palms the shot away.
62'

BOOKING
Hickey gets the wrong side of Son from a long ball, pulls him back and is booked.
60'
BIG CHANCE FOR SON!
A shot from Kulusevski catches a deflection on the edge of the area, and drifts to the open Son on the edge of the six yard box. Son sidefoots an effort at goal but doesn't catch it clean, and Flekken diverts the ball away with his leg.
58'
CHANCE!
Janelt finds room on the left of the Spurs area, and smashes a cross-cum-shot across goal. Vicario palms it out to the edge, straight to Damsgaard, who controls it well enough but bobbles a shot straight at Vicario thereafter. That was a decent look.
