Spurs have done almost as much in the opening exchanges of the second than they managed during the whole of the first half. A Christian Eriksen effort from 22-yards is beaten away by Jack Butland. Signs of encouragement for the lacklustre visitors.

There was a slight delay to the start of the second half due to a pitch invader who is sent packing after unfurling a banner on the pitch.

It is not all doom and gloom for Spurs. Southampton, their rivals in the race for next season's Europa League, trail 2-0 at Leicester. Meanwhile, Stoke are up to ninth in the 'as it stands' table, above West Ham who trail 1-0 at Aston Villa.

Image source, .The Britannia Stadium has proved something of a graveyard for Arsenal but the Potteries venue is a happy hunting ground for north London rivals Spurs.
While the Gunners have failed to win on their last five top-flight visits to Stoke, Spurs have triumphed in four of their last five league games at the Britannia.
Is that about to change?

Maggie, Lowestoft: If Spurs hang on to Hugo Lloris for next season it will be a miracle. And why would he want to stay? Average at best. Mauricio Pochettino needs some decent additions in the summer and to offload the dead wood.
Jonners, Chelmsford: How many Spurs players wore flip flops in that first half?

Image source, @spursofficialCan you remember what you were doing 34 years ago today? If you were a Tottenham fan you were probably dancing in front of your TV as Tommy Hutchison's late own goal earned Spurs a replay against Manchester City in the 1981 FA Cup final. That replay was best remembered for Ricardo Villa's spectacular winner when the Argentine skipped past four defender before slotting past Joe Corrigan. Villa and compatriot Osvaldo Ardiles, who also played in both games for Spurs, were at the Tottenham training ground this week ahead of their team's visit to Stoke. How Spurs could do with them in their prime at he Britannia Stadium.

The first half finishes with a half volley from Ryan Mason which fizzes narrowly wide of the Stoke post. Spurs need more of that attacking intent in the second half.

Ian, Lancaster: Spurs have given up on this season. They're not interested in Europa League and half the team look like they know they're for the chop. Take Eriksen, Kane and Lloris out and we look like an average Championship squad.

Marko Arnautovic has caused the Spurs defence countless problems. The Austrian is busy and he tests Hugo Lloris for the third time after a powerful run.

Stoke came into this game in poor form - one win in seven league games. But everything has fallen into place for Mark Hughes's side. If the Potters win they will equal their club record Premier League points haul of 50.

Spurs have actually had more possession than Stoke - 54% compared to the home team's 46%. Little sign of quality from the Londoners though.

What has happened to Spurs? They look nothing like the side that was banging on the door for a Champions League place not so long ago. In contrast, Stoke have been bright and breezy. They are in total command.

Image source, ReutersWhat a mess by Tottenham. Keeper Hugo Lloris and defender Eric Dier get in each others way while trying to defend a lofted ball into the area and it falls to Steven Nzonzi, who makes no mistake with a smart finish.

Goalscorer Charlie Adam tacks a whack from a yellow shirt and he's flat out on the pitch. The Scot needs treatment and he looks more than a little groggy as he climbs to his feet.

Spurs will be encouraged by that near miss but the visitors have been subdued by their high standards. Little sign of attacking threat from Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane.

Television replays show Jack Butland, who is starting ahead of Asmir Begovic, got his finger-tips to divert Marc Muniesa's mis-directed header onto the bar. Great save.
