90
Mark Davies skips past three - he's had a fine debut - before playing the ball back to a colleague, it's all about keeping possession at this stage for Bolton.

87
Goal
Corner swung in and KEVIN DAVIES is there once more, launching himself at the ball and scoring with a diving header!
86
Steinsson goes down here, he's a tough cookie - as they say - so when he goes down you know there is a problem.
84
Ball played in and it finds Dawson at the back stick, he heads towards goal but straight into the side netting, that was a real chance in the midst of call for hand-ball.
83
Tottenham have a corner kick and for once the travelling support are actually in full voice.
82
Scrappy bit of play here as both sides try to battle for the winner, it's going to get tasty in the closing stages!

Mark Davies with a chance here! He makes room for a shot and fires agonisingly wide of the Spurs goal!
77
The Bolton lads cannot believe it and look shell shocked, 10 minutes ago they were home and dry, now they are staring at throwing a two goal lead away for the second time in a week!
75
Goal
Palacios finds BENT inside the box and he makes no mistake, slipping the ball between Jaaskelainen's legs.
73
Goal
It's there, flowing football from Tottenham and Chimbonda cuts the ball back for BENT who slips the ball home, could Spurs be back in this?!
70
Tottenham just seem to be getting back into this match and there may be a glimmer of hope for Spurs yet.
68
Corluka comes off and is replaced by Pascal Chimbonda as Tottenham try to throw anything at all in the shape of attack at Bolton!

58
Vedran Corluka finds himself as the unlikely candidate for a shot but he hits one none-the-less, straight at Jaaskelainen who holds on with ease.
57
There have been a few strong challenges going in from both sides, we have a proper game of English football on our hands here and fortunately a referee who is letting the game flow.
55
There is a distinct lack of atmosphere here in the North West, the Reebok not known for this but you would have thought that the travelling fans would support the struggling Spurs side.
54
Palacios sends a high searching ball looking for the path of Bent but he was never going to make that ball.

47

46

Didier Zokora comes off to be replaced by Jermain Jenas.
Second half

45
Yet again Bentley lets the side down with his shot which flies off the wall and away, Redknapp may bring him off at the break.
45

45
The fourth official indicates a minimum of TWO minutes to be added on at the end of the half.
45
Taylor swings in a corner, it's punched away by Cudicini and the fourth official makes his way to the touchline, how long will be added on at the end of this half?
44
Closing in on half time here and Bolton will be extremely happy with the way things are going at the minute, neither side can drop into the relegation zone thanks to superior goal difference but a loss for either side could see them teetering over it
42
Long ball over the top and Pavlyuchenko is onto it, he decides to fire one goalwards but it is dealt with brilliantly by Jaaskelainen.
41
There hasn't really been any tempo from the North Londoners here and Harry Redknapp will no doubt be having stern words with his men at the break.
39
Muamba flicks the ball on but it is straight into the arms of Cudicini who takes his time with the goal kick.
39
Palacios brings down Taylor and Puygrenier steps up to take it.

36
Lennon hits a fizzer which takes a deflection and runs out for a corner kick, can Spurs hit back?
35
Bentley goes down dramtatically and Mr Dowd waves play on, it's funny how many commentators praise players for 'winning' penalties but get on their back for 'diving' anywhere else isn't it?!
34
Bentley sees the ball break to him and he unleashes a real pile-driver which Jaaskelainen has to batter away! Fantastic shot!
32
Modric is at the heart of Spurs' play and it is looking more and more likely that he may be the key for the visitors today.
31
Goal
Mark Davies whips a great ball into the box and Sebastien PUYGRENIER is there to nod past Cudicini and send the home fans wild!
30
Steinsson curls the ball into the box and Mark Davies is onto it, he gets up, heads the ball goalwards and it only just misses Cudicini's far post! Great play by the home side!
29
Nope! Jlloyd Samuel miss-kicks his clearance but finally gets the ball away at the second attempt and Bolton look to break...
28
fifth corner for Spurs, will Bentley make anymore of this ball than his previous four?
26
His cross is poor once more but luckily the ball finds team-mate Palacios who plays another ball into the box but it's not coming to anything and rolls out of play.
26
Spurs win yet another corner, which Bentley will take.
25
Englishman Fabrice Muamba is penalised for a high foot on midfield oponent Modric who has really been in the wars this afternoon!
23
The match so far is bogged down in the centre of the park, it's going to take someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck, interestingly Palacios has been incredibly quiet so far.
22
Luka Modric is sent crashing to the ground... by team-mate Pavlyuchenko and is holding his head. He looks as though he will be okay though, which is always good to see!
20
Makukula has an effort from the edge of the box; header into his path from Kevin Davies but the striker can't get his shot on target and Cudicini sees the ball wide.
19
Gretar Steinsson comes in with a great interception to nick the ball off of Aaron Lennon who was looking to run onto a long ball from midfield.
17
Spurs have had much of the ball early on here but are failing to make much headway at all, the game is yet to find a telling tempo with 17 minutes gone.
15
Slight bit of angst on the touchline as Gary Megson has a few words to say to the fourth official, some travelling fans are calling for the Bolton boss to be sent to the stands but it is highly unlikely that he will be.
14
Cross comes in from the left hand side, aimed for the head of the Russian Roman Pavlyuchenko who gets up but his effort is way wide and rolls out for a throw-in.
12
The ball is rolled back to stopper Carlo Cudicini, who takes his time before launching the ball high into the Northern sky, after so many years on the bench at Chelsea you have to wonder if he may still be missing a bit of match sharpness.
11
With former captain Kevin Nolan now at Newcastle, the midfield mantle has been handed to youngster Mark Davies, will Tottenham look to exploit his inexperience of will Davies prove his worth as a replacement to the former Bolton stalwart?
9
Matt Taylor lines up a free kick, he whips it into the far post with Kevin Davies lurking but his header is put wide! That was a half chance for the hosts early on.
8

6
Kevin Davies tries a through ball looking for team-mate Ariza Makukula but the flag is raised and the strike is offside.
5
Wilson Palacios is of course making his first start for Spurs and could be one of the main attacking influences for the Londoners this afternoon.

The corner kick is taken by Bentley but it is too deep and the ball is cleared by the Bolton defence.
2
Game just finding it's feet, David Bentley receives the ball way out and tries and audacious shot which has Jussi Jaaskelainen scrambling, he manages to palm it round the post for a corner kick.
