  • 90'
    Full time: Tottenham 1 Cardiff 0. That's it at Wembley. Not a vintage performance from Tottenham. Cardiff competed well, frustrating Tottenham and created two good chances, however the North London club picked up a vital victory despite being far from their best.
  • 90'
    FIVE minutes of stoppage time
  • 87'
    Danny Rose wins a freekick on the edge of the box, however it appears he is injured in the challenge, Ben Davies goes on to replace him. The resulting free kick is nodded clear with Kane steaming on

    Son is off despite some bright play, Lamela comes on in his place
  • 68'
    Tottenham have had 85% possession this half, but still can't add to their lead
  • 67'
    Big penalty shout for Spurs. Son does brilliantly again and feeds Rose in the box, as e cuts back it appears to be tripped by Bamba but Mike Dean, perhaps cautious after sending Ralls off waves away the appeals
  • 64'
    Cardiff almost level! Camarasa knocks a freekick into the box, Morrison meets it with a bullet header but Lloris does well to tip it on to the post. A fabulous save
  • 62'
    Harry Winks shoots harmlessly over from 25 yards

  • 58'
    Ralls is off! Lucas Moura has him beaten all ends up, the Brazilian is far too quick for him and knocks the ball past him, his challenge is beyond cynical with the ball nowhere near him. Warnock is furious as it is not a goal scoring opportunity but that challenge was shocking
  • 55'
    Spurs have been pressurising, Son picks out Kane but the ball is slightly behind him, he does well to strike on the turn, but his low shot is just past the post
  • 46'
    How are Tottenham not 2-0 up? How has Lucas not scored this match? Etheridge saves well from Kane's header after being picked out from the left, the rebound falls to Lucas who hammers the ball past the goalkeeper but Morrison is brilliantly back to deny him
  • 46'
    Harry Winks takes the kick off and we're underway again at Wembley
  • 45'
    That's the end of the first half and Tottenham lead despite Cardiff threatening an equaliser, Pochettino will not be happy.
  • 44'
    Another poor finish by Tottenham! Son again does well to get into the box but he balloons his effort over the bar
  • 42'
    What a miss from Lucas! Son does brilliantly to get down the byline, he picks out Moura who looks certain to score, but he side foots wide from close in
  • 40'
    Paterson illustrates that point by playing another pass in behind the Spurs defence to Murphy, Lloris comes out well to smother, showing good judgement to come off his line
  • 39'
    Tottenham have really struggled to kick on after their fast start and Cardiff are competing well with the London side
  • 38'
    Kieran Trippier picks out Lucas Moura with a trademark curling cross, however Morrison is leaning into the Brazilian and he can't quite direct his header on target
  • 28'
    Tottenham appear to have weathered the Cardiff storm and Kane tests Etheridge from 25 yards with a low strike
  • 22'
    Huge chance for Cardiff! Josh Murphy beats Danny Rose to Paterson's header, he dinks an effort over Lloris but Alderweireld clears on the line. Bamba heads the subsequent corner over
  • 19'
    With nearly 20 minutes gone Tottenham have enjoyed 80% of possession so far
  • 15'
    After another corner is cleared Lucads Moura dribbles in the box and feeds Sanchez, but his powerful shot is straight at Etheridge
  • 9'
    Tottenham lead! Lucas knocks a short corner to Trippier who picks out Sanchez from the left. Sanchez wins the header and although it is blocked it falls to Dier in the box who smashes it home
  • 1'
    And we're off!
