    • - Thanks for joining me this afternoon; make sure you stick around for all the latest news from the Premier League...
    • 90 Full-time: Not a great match, but Liverpool do enough on the day! Torres grabs another goal to add to his tally, to round off a fine season!
    • 84 Liverpool are doing the pressing in the final minutes....Yossi Benayoun scuffs a shot at the near post.
    • 79 Good defending! O'Hara's cross into the middle causes a bit of panic...Berbatov clips it back in, but Carragher throws himself at the ball to clear!
    • 76 Malbranque fires a couple of yards wide from the edge of the box...decent effort, but Spurs don't look too threatening at the moment...
    • 73 GOAL! TORRES! The Spaniard doubles Liverpool's lead! Great finish at the back post!
    • 71 GREAT SAVE! Berbatov brings a great save out of Reina with a first-time volley from the corner of the box...the Spaniard tipping the shot over the bar...
    • 68 GOAL! VORONIN! Torres flicks on a long ball into the box...Voronin reacts first and prods the ball past Cerny!
    • 65 SHOULD HAVE SCORED! A low cross from the right finds its way all the way across goal...Malbranque comes in at the back post, but hits the side-netting!
    • 63 Gerrard fires in a first-time shot from distance...well over the bar...even Gerrard has been unable to spark this afternoon...
    • 60 Spurs have a chance of moving up a place to 10th if they win today - earning an extra £720,000 in merit payment from the league
    • 55 Keane fires in a left-foot effort...off target...
    • 50 Spurs are denied a penalty when Teemu Tainio is bundled over at the near post, trying to get on the end of a low cross...
    • 48 Spurs win an early corner in the second half...cleared on the penalty spot...
    • 46 The second half is underway...
    • 45 HALF-TIME: Very slow half...neither side have anything to play for, and it shows...
    • 43 Good defending from Carragher, who bravely hooks the ball clear as Keane looked to pounce on the penalty spot...
    • 40 Good claim by Radek Cerny, who comes through a crowd to claim Voronin's cross from the right...
    • 37 Malbranque is spoken to by the referee...he keeps his cards in his pocket, though...
    • 33 Torres does superbly to control the ball on his chest before running at the Spurs defence...a toe on the ball just nicks it off him on the edge of the box...
    • 30 ...Gerrard rather wastes the set-piece, blasting straight into the wall...
    • 29 Babel is brought down as he sprints down the left...free-kick, just on the edge of the box...
    • 25 Spurs win a corner when Berbatov's header is pushed around the post by Reina...
    • 24 Spurs have a decent attack down the left....the cross is easily cleared on the penalty spot...not a lot of invention there.
    • 21 Mascherano is given a talking to by referee Rennie...at least the Argentinean is getting stuck in.
    • 16 This really is very tame stuff...both sides are knocking the ball about with plenty of freedom, but there isn't too much committment on show...
    • 13 Gerrard spreads the ball out to the right...Babel swings over the cross, but it's overhit
    • 11 Spurs curl a free-kick into the box...Berbatov can't get a clean contact on it, and the ball bounces wide...
    • 9 Neither side has managed an effort on goal in the first ten minutes...summer holidays on the players' minds?
    • 5 Bit of a slow start here...the players haven't got a lot to play for...could be a bit of a slow afternoon...
    • 1 OFF WE GO!
    • - The players are out in to the glorious north London sunshine...not long to go, now...
    • - Hi there; welcome to our coverage of this final Premier League clash of the season at White Hart Lane...
