FT: Tottenham 1, Swansea 0
90+5' Complaints from Swansea at the end of the match after Spurs continued to play after Michu went down.
90+5' CHANCE!
As Michu lays down injured on the pitch, Townsend drives down the pitch and is saved by Tremmel.
90+5' A late free kick by Swansea is deflected out of the penalty area by Lloris.
90+4' Swansea earn a late corner kick that is cleared away by Spurs.
Jermain Defoe is booked against the run of play after the corner.
90+3' TOTTENHAM SUBSTITUTION!
Scott Parker makes his season debut replacing Moussa Dembele.
90' Five minutes of stoppage time have been added on to the end of the second half.

88' Spurs have played much better since the introduction of Townsend.
They needed a player to go out on the wing and cause trouble.
That is exactly what Townsend has done, he caused the foul that set up the free kick that set up the goal.
86' SWANSEA SUBSTITUTION!
Danny Graham comes on for Nathan Dyer.

83. Almost an opening for Swansea, but @knaughts88 makes a great interception and we clear the danger.

82' Vertonghen takes the free kick for Spurs and it is deflected off of Leon Britton for a corner kick.
81' YELLOW CARD!
Chico is the latest Swansea player to be booked for his tackle on Townsend.
81' The final 10 minutes of the match have been the Achilles heel for Spurs all season long, will they be able to hold on to the lead or score another goal?
In the final 10 minutes of #BPL matches this season, Spurs have conceded nine times and scored none. It's the worst record in the division.

This is where Spurs try and hang on.

75' GOAL!!!! Tottenham 1-0
Off a free kick, the ball falls to the feet of Jan Vertonghen, who scores his first EPL goal of the season.
75' SWANSEA SUBSTITUTION!
Luke Moore replaces Ki Sung-Yueng.
74' Sigurdsson has moved into the position behind Defoe while Lennon is playing on the left wing and Townsend on the right wing for now.
72' TOTTENHAM SUBSTITUTION!
Andros Townsend will replace the injured Adebayor.
71' Just as Dempsey comes off of the pitch. Adebayor goes down with an injury.
It looks like he is done for the match, it looks like a hamstring injury.
SUB Spurs bring on former Swan Gylfi Sigurdsson - who scored for the Welsh side in this fixture last season - for Clint Dempsey. #TOTSWA
