FULL TIME: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Arsenal

The final North London Derby at White Hart Lane ends in a win for Spurs and the three points ensure that Arsenal cannot finish above their derby rivals. St. Totteringham's Day, celebrated by Gooners every season as the day Spurs cannot catch up with them on the table, has finally been cancelled.

Goals from Harry Kane and Dele Alli see Spurs stay within four points of Chelsea in the Premier League title race. For Arsenal, it was a wasted opportunity to catch up with the rest of the teams fighting it out for a top-four spot. 

22:53 (IST)30 APR 2017

90+3' Spurs are content with wasting time now with victory assured over their arch-rivals. The home fans are on their feet, waiting for the final whistle. 

22:51 (IST)30 APR 2017

90+1' SUBSTITUTION: Alli comes off to a standing ovation as Sissoko takes his place. 

22:50 (IST)30 APR 2017

90' Kane is toying with the Arsenal defenders all on his own as he takes the ball towards the corner flag. The Gunners don't even bother putting in a challenge and are happy to usher him to the corner. 

22:49 (IST)30 APR 2017

89' Desperate stuff from Arsenal as Bellerin simply boots the ball into the box with no specific target. It's not even a cross that's whipped in, rather it loops into the box and it's catching practice for Lloris. 

22:47 (IST)30 APR 2017

88' SUBSTITUTION: Trippier comes off as Kyle Walker gets a few minutes under his belt 

22:47 (IST)30 APR 2017

87' Koscielny makes a terrific tackle to deny Kane a run through on goal. The striker is not impressed with the decision to play on but it was a fine tackle to dispossess him. 

22:45 (IST)30 APR 2017

85' SAVE! Bellerin sends in a teasing cross into the box but it's dealt with. Arsenal win the ball back and Ramsey finds Walcott whose shot on goal is straight at Lloris. 

22:43 (IST)30 APR 2017

83' Lloris sprints out and challenges Welbeck in a 50-50 aerial duel to prevent him from going through on goal. That long ball was dangerous and the French goalkeeper did well to clear the danger. 

22:40 (IST)30 APR 2017

80' SUBSTITUTION: Giroud comes off as boos ring around the stadium. Theo Walcott takes his place. 

22:38 (IST)30 APR 2017

79' SUBSTITUTION: Son comes off for Spurs and Dembele comes on to applause from the home fans. 

22:38 (IST)30 APR 2017

78' ANOTHER SAVE! Alderweireld gets a header on goal and Cech swats it away. He's kept the scoreline respectable so far. 

22:36 (IST)30 APR 2017

77' SAVE! Wanyama intercepts a weak pass from the Ox and sends Kane on his way into Arsenal's box. His first touch deserts him and his desperate shot on goal is saved by an onrushing Cech. 

22:35 (IST)30 APR 2017

76' YELLOW CARD: Monreal's knee goes into the back of Kane's leg and Oliver has his card out in spite of Monreal's protestations.

75' SUBSTITUTION: Hector Bellerin comes on for Gabriel. 

22:33 (IST)30 APR 2017

22:32 (IST)30 APR 2017

73' YELLOW CARD: This time it's Giroud who goes into the book for a foul on Trippier while challenging for the ball. Things are getting ugly here. 

22:31 (IST)30 APR 2017

72' YELLOW CARD: Kane is booked after an aerial duel with Gabriel sees his elbow graze the defender's nose. 

22:30 (IST)30 APR 2017

22:28 (IST)30 APR 2017

68' Oooh, Kane almost gets another header on target at the near post from an Eriksen cross but Cech has it covered. 

22:27 (IST)30 APR 2017

67' Vertonghen... SAVE! Another long range effort is tipped over the bar by Cech. That was close! 

22:26 (IST)30 APR 2017

66' Corner for Spurs. Eriksen sends in a potentially dangerous ball but Monreal heads it away - but not before a cross is sent to the far post. Gibbs does well to block a header. 

22:24 (IST)30 APR 2017

65' SUBSTITUTION: Granit Xhaka comes off for Danny Welbeck. 

22:23 (IST)30 APR 2017

22:22 (IST)30 APR 2017

63' SAVE! Alexis attempts to beat two defenders with an early shot inside the box but Lloris is in the right position to make a save and even holds on to the ball. 

22:21 (IST)30 APR 2017

62' There were only 146 seconds between the two goals and it's the Spurs fans who are making all noise at the Lane. "We want you to stay, Arsene Wenger" they chant! 

22:19 (IST)30 APR 2017

Stat attack: Kane has now scored in five consecutive games against Arsenal. Cech has never saved a penalty in 10 attempts for Arsenal. 

22:18 (IST)30 APR 2017

58' Cech is left stranded on the spot and doesn't even attempt a dive to either side as Kane finds the bottom corner to make it 2-0 to Spurs. 

22:17 (IST)30 APR 2017

58' GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal (Kane)

22:16 (IST)30 APR 2017

57' PENALTY TO SPURS! Gabriel is late with his challenge on Harry Kane and the English striker is tripped inside the box. 

22:15 (IST)30 APR 2017

55' Arsenal's defence completely falls apart as Eriksen first goes through the box to take a shot. It's blocked but Dele Alli is there to clean up and tap in. 1-0 to Spurs. 

22:14 (IST)30 APR 2017

55' GOOOAAALLL! Tottenham 1-0 Arsenal (Alli)

22:13 (IST)30 APR 2017

54' OFFSIDE! Son attempts to beat Arsenal's high line but he makes his run too soon and the flag goes up immediately. 

22:11 (IST)30 APR 2017

52' Giroud... Over the bar! The Frenchman gets a shot away on his favoured left foot as he tries to latch on to a ball dropping into the box. Still 0-0 at the Lane. 

22:10 (IST)30 APR 2017

51' KANE! Ufff, how did he get so much power with his left foot? A pirouette outside the box sees Kane send a piledriver of a shot that is incredibly caught by Cech!

22:09 (IST)30 APR 2017

50' Kane is one-on-one with Monreal on the right and the Spanish defender wins that foot race, eventually getting the ball to Cech who clears. 

22:08 (IST)30 APR 2017

49' Wanyamaaa... SAVED! The midfielder arrives at the edge of the box and curls one in which Cech punches over the bar. 

22:07 (IST)30 APR 2017

48' And just like that, we're back to the mayhem. Arsenal press high and win the ball and Alexis almost finds Giroud open inside the six-yard box. Almost...

22:06 (IST)30 APR 2017

47' It's a lukewarm start to the half - a stark contrast to the end of the first half. 

22:05 (IST)30 APR 2017

We're back underway at the Lane! 

21:49 (IST)30 APR 2017

PEEP! HALF-TIME: Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Arsenal

21:48 (IST)30 APR 2017

45+3' Corner for Spurs! This will be the last kick of the half. Eriksen to take... 

21:47 (IST)30 APR 2017

45+2' Vertonghen... SAVE! The Belgian attempts a shot from outside the box and Cech dives to his left to make a fine save. A little more power on the shot and Cech would have been in trouble. 

21:46 (IST)30 APR 2017

45' Alexis again and this time he chests down a cross inside the box. But there's a wall of Spurs players between him and goal and the shot is blocked. 

21:45 (IST)30 APR 2017

44' Alexisss... WIDE! The Chilean forward attempt to curl one into the far post from the left and Lloris dives desperately to make the save. He heaves a sigh of relief though as the ball bounces on the outside of the post. 

21:42 (IST)30 APR 2017

42' Arsenal with some sustained pressure out on the left but they can't find a way through. Gibbs battles for the ball near the goal line and eventually concedes a goal kick. 

21:40 (IST)30 APR 2017

39' GIBBS... MISS! The wing-back makes a run into the box and stays onside. But he's no goalscorer and he slices his shot which is well off target. His sheepish expression says it all. 

21:38 (IST)30 APR 2017

38' SAVE! Ramsey tries to bend a ball to the far post. It was on target but Lloris dives to his left to make the save Corner!

21:38 (IST)30 APR 2017

37' Ox with a well-timed sliding tackle to dispossess his England teammate Dele Alli on the left flank. Spurs look dangerous only on the counter-attack at the moment. 

21:37 (IST)30 APR 2017

36' Without the ball, Arsenal defend with five at the back and Spurs can't find a way through at the moment. They're going through the motions with some sideways passes looking for an opening.
