Tottenham Hotspur against Leeds United

Long downfield from Leeds, and aimless with it. Goal-kick to the home side, and it's surely just a question of playing out the last few minutes now

Bowyer infuriated with Bunjevcevic, appearing to suggest that he made too much of the challenge

Then it breaks down - Leeds cross, Spurs clear, Bowyer makes a late challenge on Bunjevcevic. Guess what? It's another booking

Spurs building another fluent move... patient and thoughtful in midfield

Keane looks to jink into space on the edge of the area, but runs out of space and it's a goal-kick

Bowyer gets into the area, and his first touch - just a bit too heavy - allows Keller to gather the ball at his feet

Niggle from Smith, and yet another booking is the result. Viduka goes off, James Milner is on in his place

There's a sense of playing out time now - Leeds will have to do something pretty special to find a way back. They've shown precious few signs of that

Carr crosses for Tottenham, Bakke gets it away for Leeds

Poyet tries a wildly ambitious effort from distance, which trundles back to Robinson in a restful Sunday type of way

Off goes Darren Anderton, and Jamie Redknapp replaces him for the final ten minutes or so

Kewell now - he finds McPhail in the middle, and Kelly is on the right... he attempts a cross, but the ball is out of play

Viduka can't get past Carr in the area, and Leeds are still finding it very tough to create decent chances. Or even half chances

Davies, Sheringham and Poyet link - Freund finds Anderton, and the shot is well wide in the end

Bowyer hits it, and the Tottenham wall does its job well

Smith tumbles under Bunjevcevic's challenge - he's booked and this is a potentially dangerous free-kick for Leeds... it's 30 yards out and fairly central

At the other end, more superb play by Keane sees him make space for a shot which skids past the post

Scramble - Leeds cross and Bunjevcevic finally clears

Leeds try to swing the ball forward towards Bowyer, but it's not accurate enough and Tottenham clear

All a bit bitty in this second period: there isn't the zip to Spurs that there was before the break

McPhail goes into the book for a late challenge, then the referee penalises Sheringham for a foul midway inside the Leeds half

Keane stumbles on a run into the area - the crowd, but not the players, appeal for a penalty. It isn't given

Change for Spurs - Ziege goes off, and Welsh international Simon Davies, to a rousing reception, is on

Sheringham nearly, but not quite, manages to flick the ball through to Keane - a smart idea from the veteran striker

Bakke clears and Kewell will lead a charge forward... Ziege fouls Bowyer and will become the game's latest booking

Keane runs into the area for Tottenham, and Lucic is there to put the ball out for a throw

Meantime, Poyet chips the ball to Keane - the flag's up again, much to his frustration

Viduka's struggling for Leeds... he might have to come off. More woe for the visitors

Anderton for Tottenham, on halfway... Lucic challenges Keane well as he takes the ball on

Kelly crosses for Leeds - Poyet is there to head clear, but Lucic finds Kewell and then Spurs clear

Another wasted ball from the home side, whose momentum has deserted them just at the moment

On the hour, and it's still looking good for Spurs... Ziege intercepts a cross and his own keeper Keller clutches the ball on the goalline

He threads a pass into the area, and Keller is brave to get there first

Leeds struggling to create - but here's Smith on the right...

Richards heads down, Keane tries a volley - he gets it all wrong this time, though, and the effort loops gently to Robinson

The ball's cleared and kept by Spurs: Sheringham tries a shot, which is blocked

McPhail fouls Carr - free-kick to Spurs on the right. This can be swung into the area...

Viduka wins the ball and finds Wilcox: he's crowded out and Spurs break to win a throw inside the Leeds half

Anderton chases a ball forward and looks to have been impeded - not so, according to the referee

Leeds again - Kewell gets into the area and tries to cross. King, again, stops it - an impressive start to the half by the Tottenham defender

The ball goes astray and Leeds breathe again: Spurs, though, are snapping in and winning most of the possession. Just like the first half

Bowyer crosses dangerously - Spurs clear and Poyet gets Spurs moving...

More good work from Keane - then Freund tries a delicate cross which turns into a gift for keeper Robinson

Viduka flicks on towards Kewell - King is there again for Tottenham

It's tapped to Viduka, who belts in a shot which flies over the top

Viduka does well, and wins Leeds a free-kick about 35 yards out and fairly central...

Then Keane is penalised for a foul on Woodgate as he attempts to reach Anderton's pass

Ziege tries to thread the ball into the area - Keane is caught offside and Leeds have the free-kick

What can Venables and his team produce in this second period?

They move forward, and Viduka lays the ball off towards Bowyer - King makes a crucial interception

Spurs get the second half under way, but Leeds win it back deep inside their own half

It's half time - Spurs, with two fine goals and an excellent team display, have a thoroughly merited lead against dispirited Leeds

Fluent stuff from Spurs in midfield, but on overhit Ziege pass ends that easy-on-the-eye move

Moving towards stoppage time - Keane breaks and looks for Sheringham, but the early ball is just too high

'You're Spurs and you know you are', the Tottenham fans tell Venables

It's turning into a bleak return for Venables, and another grim afternoon for Leeds

And they don't - Kasey Keller konfidently kommands his penalty area and makes the katch

Leeds win a corner - they desperately need to get a goal back...

Outside of the boot, straight into the corner. Robinson helpless, Keane magical, Leeds facing the deficit the balance of play merits

Poyet finds Keane with a first-time pass - the finish from the edge of the area is absolutely brilliant. Spurs lead 2-0!

Then Kewell fouls Freund as he attempts to win the ball back - that's a booking for the Aussie

Better little spell of possession for Leeds - Kewell embarks on a run down the left but is crowded out

Viduka shepherds the ball to Bowyer - Kelly crosses and Spurs clear - it comes back to Bowyer, whose floated shot is over the top

Mark Viduka on, Jacob Burns off. An early change for struggling Leeds and under-fire Venables

Great play by Keane - he makes room and zaps a low shot from 30 yards. It's not too far wide - Keane has been outstanding

Bowyer hacks the ball downfield - there's nobody there to fight for it for Leeds and Spurs will build once more

Anderton crosses, Kelly heads behind. Another corner for the better side by an absolute mile

Burns is booked for a challenge on Poyet - nothing is going right for the Yorkshire side

Kewell attempts to break that stranglehold with an ambitious shot which poses no problems for Keller

...Robinson gets there, but Spurs are so much in command

Burns clears again - but the ball is back with Spurs and Poyet stretches onto a Keane pass...

Sheringham chips towards Keane - Leeds just about head clear

The ball is swept out to the right, but just drifts out of play

Good play from Sheringham, who produces some fine skill in midfield to set his side on the move again

Bakke looks for Smith on the left - Richards is covering and concedes the throw

Kewell tries to do something more constructive - he can't, with the Spurs defence quick to crowd him out

Poyet gets a yellow card... Leeds play the ball forward, but it's aimless and harmless

Bowyer tumbles under a fierce Poyet challenge - he doesn't like it...

Carr meets it from an angle on the right, but his effort fizzes across goal. Excellent play from Spurs

Bunjevcevic finds Ziege on the left - the ball is crossed in...

Freund again - they all want him to shoot. He's about 50 yards from goal and on the right-hand side, but what the heck

Bunjevcevic strolls forward to fire an effort from long distance. Woodgate is the Leeds player in the way

The crowd urging Freund to shoot, regardless of where he is on the field. Goals haven't exactly been a major part of his White Hart Lane career to date

Freund and Carr link up on the Spurs right - some good interpassing between them...

Bunjevcevic shows his calmness again - good use of the ball leaving the visiting strikers chasing shadows

Leeds try to put a move together - the ball is aimed towards Smith, who can't quite get there. Spurs yet to be really tested

Soon, Spurs swing another cross into the danger zone - Gary Kelly gets there to clear it with Poyet closing in

He does - the angle is tight, but Robinson is forced to parry and then claims the ball at the second attempt

Keane races away again - the angle is tight but he can unleash a shot...

The home side's composure is growing as the game progresses - Bunjevcevic epitomising it with some cool touches at the back

Spurs on the move again - another crossing chance, and another Leeds clearance

Venables looks tense on the touchline - Leeds look for Kewell, but the ball is overhit

Ziege fires it in, but Leeds clear the ball. Wilcox is booked for the foul that led to the set piece

In contrast, Spurs are putting some intelligent moves together and win a free-kick on the right of the Leeds area...

Leeds are struggling to put any control into their play, with possession too easily squandered

And finds himself in the referee's book... soon Bowyer is involved in a scrap with Freund

The frustration is showing for Leeds - Bakke kicks out at goalscorer Sheringham...

And more woes for under-fire Venables - his side are struggling to get into the contest and now find themselves a goal behind

A superb finish from Sheringham, who controlled his effort brilliantly

He's blocked, but the rebound falls to Sheringham who, from the edge of the box, drills a fine low shot into the net. Spurs lead 1-0!

And win a throw - the ball is hooked on towards Keane, who takes on Lucic on the edge of the area...

Spurs again playing with purpose - they put some good passing together...

Poyet looks for Ziege down the left - he battles for the ball but it eventually deflects off him for a Leeds goal-kick

Carr launches a run down the right and tumbles under a challenge - no free-kick, says the referee

But the visitors are finding life tougher as things go on, with Spurs enjoying much the greater possession

The flag-kick comes to nothing, Leeds clearing their lines

...and they win a corner - anxious moments for manager Venables at one of his old haunts

Plenty of animosity and scrapping in midfield - here come Spurs again...

The eventual shot is a disappointment, however - the Leeds man failing to trouble the keeper

Then Bowyer sets off on a run - it's purposeful...

Keane gets his first chance to do some damage against his former club, but keeper Robinson does well to collect the ball

It's wasted, though, and floats behind for a goal-kick to the home side

Leeds start well and win an early free-kick, which McPhail will mastermind...

Smith tumbles under Bunjevcevic's challenge - he's booked and this is a potentially dangerous free-kick for Leeds... it's 30 yards out and fairly central

At the other end, more superb play by Keane sees him make space for a shot which skids past the post
