    Tottenham 2-1 Swansea

    Tottenham have the scoreline they require now. So what can Swansea do to now get back in to this game? Well, they can attack, which is exactly what they do. Hugo Lloris is forced to make his first save for a long time to deny Alberto Paloschi.

    "The problem for Swansea was that they have been defending deeper and deeper. It is no surprise that Tottenham are ahead. Psychologically, Francesco Guidolin's team look ruined. Is there anything he can do to turn this around now?"

    Danny Rose

    It's in! Tottenham have turned it around! A corner is only half cleared and falls to Danny Rose, who takes a touch and hammers in a shot that goes under the diving Lukasz Fabianski and in. Two goals in eight minutes for the home side. Two massive goals.

    A change for each side. Ryan Mason replaces Son Heung-min for Tottenham, while Swansea send on Leroy Fer for Leon Britton.

    Tottenham are going in for the kill now. They pour forward in numbers but Nacer Chadli is only able to poke a shot past the post from inside the box.

    Whatever the result of this game, it can take nothing away from the display of Lukasz Fabianski. Tottenham would be out of sight were it not for the keeper, who makes another superb diving save to palm away a 30-yard Christian Eriksen shot.

    "What a great substitution by the manager! Fabianski should have caught the initial ball rather than tried to catch it. But Tottenham have equalised through doing what I said they needed to do - take a pot-shot from distance and see what happens. Kyle Walker's shot wasn't going in, but Nacer Chadli was alert."

    Nacer Chadli

    The pressure tells! And it is the substitute Nacer Chadli who has come to Spurs rescue. A corner, brought around by another superb save from Lukasz Fabianski is headed to Kyle Walker on the opposite side of the box and his low drive is diverted in by Chadli. White Hart Lane erupts in a mixture of delight and utter relief.

    This time, Alberto Paloschi  hammers Eriksen's corner away from the box. Spurs are lacking any quality in and around the box.

    Christian Eriksen's corner is headed away but fired back in and deflected wide for another corner...

    Tottenham are frantically turning the screw. Kyle Walker gets in round the back but his cross from the right is blocked. Then Dele Alli has a shot deflected behind for a corner...

    Lukasz Fabianski is into double figures for saves as he dives low to comfortably stop a Christian Eriksen shot from 30 yards.

    Soon after, Eric Dier drives an effort wide of the post from range.

    This is no surprise. On comes Nacer Chadli for the increasingly marginalised Erik Lamela.

    Tottenham 0-1 Swansea

    There is so little space near the Swansea box in which Tottenham can play. The away team are camped in numbers and so far it has provided an obstacle that the home side have been unable to clear. 30 minutes left. 30 big minutes for both of these sides for very different reasons.

    Oh, close! Christian Eriksen fires the free-kick round the wall but also a yard past the far post.

    Rose and Ayew are at it again, but this time it is the latter fouling the former right on the edge of the box. This is a useful free-kick for the home side.

    Danny Rose looks to slide in and clear the ball away from Andre Ayew on the touchline but fells the forward who falls on his face. That's gonna smart a bit. It also gives the Swans defence a bit of a rest. It also earns Rose a booking.

    Lukasz Fabianski is having some game. He reaches up to claw away another effort on goal, this time from 30 yards from Harry Kane. The resulting corner is met by Dele Alli but gathered by the Swansea keeper.

    As a former Arsenal player, you suspect Fabianski will be enjoying this.

    "The problem Tottenham have got is that Swansea are very well set. Swansea's defensive line is 20 yards in front of their goalkeeper, and there are nine players there at times. Spurs are probably going to need a pot-shot to find a way through. At the moment, they are trying to play their way through, and it's so difficult.

    It comes as no surprise to find the red parts of the Swansea heatmap (right) are all in their own half and mainly in their own box. 

    It gets a tiny bit redder as Christian Eriksen's free-kick towards the near post draws another good one-handed save from Lukasz Fabianski, who scoops the ball away.
