The fourth official strides to the touchline. How long is he going to reveal? Five minutes...

More Spurs groans as Kyle Walker's slide-rule pass is too heavy for Nacer Chadli to race onto. Almost in stoppage time...

Frustration kicking in at White Hart Lane. More possession and more shots from the home side - but they're trailing. 

Danny Rose - not for the first time in his career - lets his emotions boil over a touch, scuffling with Shane Long who reacts to his tasty challenge.

Erik Lamela shuffles into space on the right side of the Saints box, clipping up towards Nacer Chadli at the far post. But the Belgian cannot climb above a pair of away defenders and the chances disappears down the plug hole.

Here's that Saints change. Ward-Prowse on for Dusan Tadic serves two purposes - one, to shore up their midfield and two, to waste a few seconds.

Saints are readying James Ward-Prowse on the bench...

Shane Long clatters into Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris, who races off his line to head away a long ball. Yellow card for the Saints striker. A harsh yellow in my opinion. Ball was there to be challenged.

Spurs back on the attack. They reckon they should have a couple of corners, ref Jon Moss decides otherwise. The locals aren't happy.

Shane Long is like a wasp that you just can't swat away. The Saints striker is homing in on the Spurs defence again, trying to sting Toby Alderweireld who finds himself in a tangle. But the ball runs through to Hugo Lloris and Spurs survive.

There are still goals in this game. Mark my words. Not sure at which end though...

Spurs need some inspiration. Can Nacer Chadli provide some? Poch thinks so. On comes the more attack-minded Belgian for central midfielder Ryan Mason.

Franklioni: That's how we throw away a season of good work...

Francis Edwards: Great goal, but really. Spurs have really lost it in the last few games. If Arsenal win later, second is surely theirs.

Luke: This Spurs side are going to go down as the biggest ever bottlers. Bottled the league and now bottling finishing above Arsenal!

This is Christian Eriksen territory. A hum of expectation around White Hart Lane. Here goes Eriksen...no...it is actually Erik Lamela. The Argentine wraps his right foot around the ball, but gives it too much gas. Too high. And probably wide. Eriksen pulls a face like he has just realised he's ran out of milk after he's poured his cereal.

Spurs have thrown away leads in their past two games. Is it going to be third time unlucky? They have a free-kick about 25 yards out from the Saints goal...

"It looked as if Spurs had enough defenders back but Davis switched the ball across from the left then wrapped his foot around his shot. It squirmed into the right-hand corner and maybe Hugo Lloris was a touch unsighted. It came through a crowd of legs, and Saints lead!"

Back under way after that fluid-based pit stop. Twenty minutes for someone to nick a winner.

You know I said earlier it was sweltering at White Hart Lane? 28C apparently. And that means the players need a quick drinks break. Ref Jon Moss pauses the game for some much-needed re-hydration. Imagine how players would cope if they held a World Cup in Qatar. Oh wait...

Couple of Spurs pot-shots in quick succession, Kyle Walker and Christian Eriksen failing to trouble Fraser Forster though.

Eeek! Moment of concern for Hugo Lloris, the Spurs keeper fumbling a Saints cross with Shane Long lurking. Luckily Jan Vertonghen rides to his rescue.
