Ryan Mason skims a low shot which deflects wide. Good effort as Spurs push on for the first time in a while.

"I don't want to dig Roberto Soldado out for any other reason than to analyse his performance today, but he has not run around enough, his control has not been great, and for £27m, one goal in 10 appearances, is it enough? What are Tottenham getting from him? Surely you want more than that."

Good knowledge that Lewis. Everything looked like a foul to me, it was brutal stuff. I think it was Hungary v Croatia I saw. A tasty affair!

Steve, Enfield: To think Tottenham let Michael Dawson go to make room for Federico Fazio. He is clueless. We miss Aaron Lennon, too. Erik Lamela is a pretty player but actually contributes little.

Lewis: Actually water polo players don't foul so much because almost anything is allowed (see 16:56). Even ducking (you just can't hold them under once you have).

John Hartson will be pleased as Roberto Soldado comes off, with Moussa Dembele on in his place. Soldado has seven Premier League goals in almost 18 months. Wilfried Bony has 20 in 2014.

Swansea make a chance as Leon Britton is replaced by Jonjo Shelvey. Change of shape in midfield as Ki goes deep into the Britton role.

He's like Dimitar Berbatov without the goals isn't he, Roberto Soldado? Sometimes he takes a touch, or plays a pass, which looks outrageous. But not often enough.

"Roberto Soldado has done nothing today. And I mean absolutely nothing. He has not run the channels, he has not held the ball up, I've got nothing against him but what does he actually do? Harry Kane has to go up there and be the out ball at times because Soldado does not do it well enough."

Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng goes into the book for leaving a foot in. Clumsy rather than nasty. Swansea have been excellent for the majority of the game since going behind, but can they find a winner now?

Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony has now netted eight times in his last 10 Premier League appearances. Big man, big goals, big game player. Big price tag.

"The goal was always coming - Swansea were pushing and pushing in the first half and Wilfried Bony was wasteful but he did not waste that one. His first shot was blocked but he made no mistake second time round to put Swansea back in the game. Now we will see what Tottenham are made of."

Well there it is! Wilfried Bony continues his fine run of form to level this one up. Wayne Routledge gets clear down the right, his cross is smashed by Bony into the chest of Federico Fazio, and Bony reacts well to steer in the rebound from six yards out.

Wilfried Bony pulls of a Zidane style pirouette but then runs out of room. He remains the main man if Swansea are to fight back.

Swansea get us back under way.

Here we go, the players are back out. Spurs attacking the shallow end.

A nugget of news you may have missed today.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has all-but ended the idea of playing an extra competitive '39th' top-flight match abroad.

"The idea of an extra game is gone," Scudamore told the Mail on Sunday.

The concept of playing one of the existing 38 Premier League games overseas has also been explored.

But asked to clarify that games would not be played abroad during the next TV deal from 2016-17 to 2018-19, Scudamore said: "You can make that assumption."

There is a lot of forking going on from the groundstaff during the interval. Hopefully we'll avoid the water polo for the next 45 minutes. I saw some water polo during the Olympics actually. Those lads know how to foul...

Andrew Guthrie: Could be a game of two halves. Football in the first and water polo in the second!

Spurs have lost none of their six Premier League games against Swansea and have won the last five in a row. That record looks like being extended this afternoon.

"Garry Monk will be delighted with the performance, although obviously not the score. Spurs will need to defend stronger in the second half because they have got off very lightly so far. Ben Davies made an excellent saving tackle to stop Wilfried Bony, and Hugo Lloris has made some good saves. Spurs are lucky to be going into half-time in the lead. They will have to improve, because eventually one of Swansea's chances will go in for them."
