FT. LAZIO 0-0 SPURS.

Floccari again down the right and Lazio try to get the ball in once last time. Walker gets it and hammers it high up the pitch

Floccari finds space as Gonzalez pokes the ball through. Lloris was not bothered by the shot as it whizzes past his post.

Lennon and Defoe combine, but Lazio manage to win the ball back and Candreva is away again. Sandro with a fine tackle.

Three minutes of extra-time to be played

Bale still pressing though and manages to force a corner. Only Defoe and Adebayor are there at the moment, but joined by Caulker et al

Lloris holds the ball at his feet and Lazio don't seem too bothered about closing him down. A draw suits both here.

Again the ball comes down the right for Lazio. Candreva is a real danger, but Spurs hold firm.

Walker uses his pace to get back and snuff out Candreva's run. Good stuff from the defender as he must be tired by now

Spurs on the counter through Defoe, but Biava comes across and keeps the danger away

Spurs under real pressure, they can't seem to get the ball out of their half at the moment.

Ciani powers a header from a corner, but Lloris is there to make a point-blank save. What a save.

Sandro takes a ball to the head. Walker is being run ragged by Candreva since he came on.

Candreva is buzzing about, but Lazio can't seem to break through and Spurs aren't that fussed about pushing up the other end.

Spurs seems happy with the draw. They are in no rush.

Candreva now tries to score from a corner. Lloris watches it all the way, but seems an odd way to try and break the deadlock for both sides.

Floccari immediately wins a corner and Lazio can attack. Lloris punches the ball out from under his own bar; he was fouled though.

Lulic and Kozak off, Candreva and Floccari on

Vertonghen wastes a good ball to Lennon by hacking it out of play. Not much quality on show at the moment

Carroll off, Dembele comes on after recovering from injury

The ball is chipped in and Kozak chests it down completely free in the box. He was just offside though.

Ederson has been lively and is hacked down by Vertonghen who blocks him off. In the book.

Lloris off his line again quickly, and he's done very well.

Free-kick just outside the box for Lazio and Ledesma curls it... just wide. Lloris probably had it covered, but that was a close call.

Bale is down hurt at the moment after clashing with Ledesma in the air. It's his hip/side, but should be ok to carry on.

Ederson gets a cross in with his first touch, which is cleared, but then wins a free-kick. That's an impressive couple of seconds.

Hernanes off, Ederson on.

Panathinaikos have taken the lead, so two wins for Greeks tonight and next fortnight and Spurs are out.

Lennon gets his first run at Radu, but his cross skews well over the bar. Must do better.

Spurs are looking pretty open now. Lazio smell blood, although Kozak has not had the best of times in front of goal.

Kozak slips inside Caulker. Well taken and he's through on goal, but his shot is tame. He was off balance, but that was a decent attempt.

Mauri beats the offside trap and Lloris comes tearing out of his area to hack the ball clear. He has been very sharp tonight.

Bit of attacking power now from AVB. He obviously wants to win this game.

Sigurdsson and Dempsey off, Defoe and Lennon come on.

Kozak points for his own lobbed ball and it arrives... but he is just offside.

Bale looking a frustrated figure as he constantly looks for a ball over the top, but it never arrives.

That is THREE Kozak attempts now that should have been goals. Lazio looking for a sub surely?

Spurs with an almighty mess. They lose the ball in defence thanks to Sandro and it eventually rebounds to Kozak. He has a near post completely free with Lloris committed and slides wide

Bale tries to score from a corner, but it flies over the bar.

Radu chests behind after a cross that comes a little too close to the Lazio goal

Hernanes makes a fool of young Carroll with a sharp turn, but the Spurs man snaps at his heels. Eventually it comes to nothing.

Caulker patrols well on the edge of the box to stop Lulic from getting away. He has looked assured in defence.

Not much going on... both sides seem to have reverted to long ball tactics.

Panathinaikos 0-0 Maribor by the way. A draw for Lazio at the moment puts them through.

Ciani intercepts well, but then his ball to Lulic is awful and it dribbles out of play.

Caulker is forward for some reason and Adebayor swings it in to him. Gonzalez gets the better of the defender though. Odd Ade was the one crossing when he should be in the box getting his head on a cross.

Sigurdsson trying to get into the game and exchanges a nice one-two with Dempsey before the ball gets away from him

Spurs just trying to play the ball about a bit and make some headway. They have struggled in the final third and need to get better if they are to come away with a result here

Lulic tries to get on the end of a long ball, but Walker does well to mop up. It finds Adebayor with space on the wing and his ball inside to Dempsey is well defended by Biava.

Naughton should be ok to continue. Looks like he is running off the issue.

An odd one... it doesn't look too much on replay but he is down and looks hurt. Dawson is warming up on the sidelines.

Mauri chips the ball over for Lulic and as he does Naughton goes down with an ankle injury

Long ball through is on target, but Dempsey just doesn't track it and Marchetti claims with ease

KICK-OFF

HT. LAZIO 0-0 SPURS.

A foul blown when Spurs were pressuring the defence... probably a bit soft and they could have been three against one if the ref keeps his whistle in his pocket.

Hernanes fools Sandro with a great bit of skill to get past him, but his ball through to Lulic was cut out by Walker.

A bit subdued as half-time approaches. Lazio have been the better side.

Walker is finally back. It seems he wasn't allowed to wear a shirt with a different number to his shorts.

Good work from the keeper, but did he handle outside the box?

Kozak is through. Vertonghen steps up and lets his man go. But the striker overruns it and Lloris comes out of his box to smother...

Ref's assistants are having a nightmare at either end as Kozak is flagged offside, but he wasn't...

Walker still isn't on the pitch although he is ready to go again. Seems to be some red tape about his kit stopping him from coming back. Hope it doesn't hurt Spurs.

Dempsey loses the ball and Lazio are pressing. Kozak with another header that is cleared.

Walker off the field at the moment, so Spurs are down to ten men. Think it was a blood injury.

Lloris comes out to clear against Mauri and clatters him. He got the ball first, but that one looked like it might have hurt.

All a bit quiet now. Both teams are battling hard, but have nothing to show for it. Lazio just on top, but the game needs a goal.

Biava stays forward from a setpiece and almost gets his head on the incoming ball. Lloris gathers with a gasp of relief.

Two good chances for Lazio then, and Spurs have had a goal that should have stood disallowed.

Lulic finds some space down the left and Walker comes across. Then it flies over and Hernandes curls it in - Kozak has a free header but puts it wide. He should have done better.

Sandro mops up in the middle of the park. He's done quite well so far in that role, but Lazio still look dangerous on the counter.

Mauri goes to ground as Walker comes in with a high foot inside the box. Ref is unmoved though.

That was a HUGE chance. Kozak had plenty of time and picked his spot. But a world-class save from Lloris.

Cavanda does really well down the right. He knocks it inside and gets the return, then bobbles it inside to Kozak. Lloris gets a leg on it and puts it wide.

Sandro and Dempsey in deep conversation about something. Perhaps a mistimes run or something.. the American hasn't been in the game much

Sandro gets some space and chips a ball ahead of Adebayor, but Biava closes him down and snuffs out the danger.

Ledesma with another long range shot. This time he doesn't catch it properly and it dribbles past Lloris' post.

The closest that either side has come to a goal so far.

Bale with a cross-cum-shot and Marchetti is caught out. He has to readjust and tips it over the bar.

Bit of news breaking: Lazio have denied their fans were responsible for a vicious attack in a Rome bar last night that has left one Tottenham fan in a serious condition in hospital.

Poor backpass to the Lazio stopper, but Adebayor doesn't have the speed to get across and block in time

Ledesma gets his head on the ball to put it behind from a corner. Spurs putting some pressure on and goalkeeper Marchetti doesn't look confident.

Just before that, Caulker was needed to get his foot in front of a shot from Kozak. It's end to end stuff at the moment.

Lloris palms the dipping ball onto his own post. It was Ledesma who hit it and the goalkeeper manages to keep it out somehow.

Tottenham putting some passes together and the Lazio fans are getting angry. You can hear the whistles.

Good chance though. Lazio are starting to see the whites of Lloris' eyes.

Radu does well on the left hand side. He cuts inside and puts the ball across the edge of the box to Lulic who blasts well over the bar.

Chance for Lazio as Spurs fell asleep. Lulic shoots over, but it was Gonzalez who had space in the box and could have turned and done better

Somehow Carroll wins a header and knocks the ball back into the box, but it just doesn't drop for Dempsey to hit.

Great cross in from Bale on the left and Sigurdsson makes a run to the near post which sees Radu deflect the ball over the bar.

Hardly seen a foul yet either. The ref is obviously keen to let the game flow as much as possible

Naughton not looking too comfortable on the left side. As a right-footed player that's not too surprising, but something Lazio could attack

Now it's Spurs' turn to try and control possession for a bit. A good early ball to Adebayor finds the striker offside and this time he is.

Walker deals with Lulic as he was trying to force him down the wing. Lazio looking dangerous at the moment when they get into the final third, but still haven't tested Lloris.

Lazio keen to just slow things down a bit after that early threat from Bale. They are passing it around and trying to keep Spurs at bay.

Painful one on Sigurdsson from Radu. He miskicked and his studs went into the Spurs player.

By the way... that was never offside. He was level when the ball was played.

What a ball from Carroll.. he slipped it through and Bale rounded the keeper to score. But the offside flag was up.

Dempsey and Walker trying to make inroads down the right, but Walker overruns it and the ball dribbles out for a goal kick.

Mauri caught offside when tussling with Naughton. He is always a danger and will need to be watched closely.

Adebayor is the man to hold the ball up for Spurs tonight. A few times he has stood up, but then lost the ball.

Spurs being pegged back a little in the early stages and Vertonghen has to clear under pressure

Immediately giving the ball away to Hernanes.. he can't quite control it and Walker tidies up
