It is indeed too late. There's the final whistle, and Middlesbrough are good value for their 2-1 win. Downing and Tuncay were their star men. On this evidence, Spurs are going to sorely miss Keane and Berbatov.
90+1'GOAL! Spurs have one back, and it's Robert Huth with an own-goal from David Bentley's excellent inswinging free-kick. In off the post. Surely it's too late for them to find an equaliser though?!?!
89'Huge ball out of defence from Boro, and Aliadiere outpaces the Spurs defence...he beats Gomes to the ball, has only the 'keeper to beat...but his attempted lob is an awful one. Spurs are in disarray.

86' Now Mido makes it 2-0!!!! Boro went straight forward from that erroneous throw-in decision, Digard shot from the edge of the area, and was way off target, but close enough that Mido could stick out a leg and turn it home. Gomes had no chance.
80' Cross in from Bentley, it's too long for Bent, Wheater chests it back to Jones but it's too short...O'Hara arrives...but Jones manages to get in the block, while O'Hara goes flying. Wheater will be mightily relieved.
71' GOAL! David Wheater puts Boro ahead!!!! Stewart Downing's cross was cleared at the near post but came back to him, his second cross was deflected onto the bar by Alves at the near post, and Wheater was on hand at the back stick to turn it in from close range!
68' Jenas now surges goalwards, lovely one-two with Berbatov, Jenas shoots...SAVED BY JONES!!! What a chance! Berbatov wanted it back again.
47' Bentley stings the hands of Jones with a swerving effort from 25 yards!
43' Another excellent ball into the bix from Assou-Ekotto is just inches too far ahead of Giovani!!! Now Boro look to hit Spurs on the break, Aliadiere releases Alves, but Woodgate stands his ground and gets in the block.
34' Wheater has the ball in the back of the net! A fine downward header! Middlesbrough have the lead!!! But no - it's been ruled out for a foul. The big defender was ajudged to have climbed all over his man.
31' Zokora surges down the right flank and whips a dangerous ball into the area...and Wheater clears with Giovani lurking in the middle. In fact Wheater had to get himself out of the way of the ball there to avoid scoring an own-goal.
19' Now Boro look to hit Spurs on the break, Tuncay latches onto a long ball over the top of the defence, outpaces Assou-Ekotto...lays it across to Alves who must score....BUT NO!!! THE BRAZILIAN MANAGES TO SIDEFOOT OVER THE BAR FROM JUST 8 YARDS OUT!!! What a chance!
15' Woodgate spreads the play to Giovani, wonderful control from the Mexican...he goes past two men and lays it off for Bentley...who curls his right foot shot just wide of the post!! Tottenham's best move of the match so far.
11' Downing witha lovely chipped ball over the top for the onrushing Tuncay, Woodgate heads clear, it falls for Alves, and Dawson ghets in a last-ditch challenge to deny the Brazilian a volley from inside the area.
8' David Wheater concedes a needless corner. Poor header. Bentley again has the chance to fire it in...Jones gets a fist clear...it falls to Giovani...who lashes his volley just wide of the target! Decent opportunity there for the youngster.
