That's a wrap

And with that, I'm off.

Be sure to join us tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting double-header. Chelsea host Arsenal before Everton face Manchester United.

See you then.

19:35

After the excitement of Borussia Dortmund, the brutal comedown of Swansea City. Tottenham can look swashbuckling against Europeans elite; not so much against Wales’ finest team.

And it was a compliment to Paul Clement that the first half was so uneventful. He brought them survival last season with exceptional organisation and he isn’t about to tear up those foundations now. With Federico Frenandez cajoling and Alfie Mawson and Mike Van Der Hoorn responding, with superb positional play, Tottenham exited at half time gnawing their knuckles in frustration.

Swansea don’t look the best team on paper; under Clement though they can be exceptionally hard to break down. Admittedly they have lost 4-0 to Manchester United this season; but on that occasion they were still in the game until they tired in the final ten minutes.

19:29
Spurs up to fifth

Tottenham up to fifth after earning that point, Swansea in 14th. A missed opportunity for Spurs, they may feel aggrieved not to have been awarded at least two penalties but Swansea battled very well indeed.

The Wembley curse back with a vengeance?

19:20
FULL-TIME: Tottenham 0-0 Swansea
19:20
Swansea clear Eriksen free-kick

Routledge then barges into Dele Alli instead of trying to win a header. Dangerous position here, Eriksen to curl it in. Headed away and cleared.

19:19
YELLOW CARD: Routledge

Time wasting from the Swansea winger.

19:19
Aurier shoots into the side netting

Llorente wins a knock-down, Aurier runs onto the loose ball but he stabs his effort into the side netting.

19:18
Trippier shoots wide

Trippier drills an effort from 25 yards that rips past the post. That had Fabianski beaten.

19:17
FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME
19:15
YELLOW CARD: Aurier, Alderweireld

Yellow card here for Serge Aurier, an alleged handball in the area (struck his chest) before going to ground after being tripped by Jordan Ayew.

Toby Alderweireld also joins the book for dissent.

19:13
SUB: Van der Hoorn OFF, Routledge ON

Swansea have used their third and final sub.

19:12
YELLOW CARD: Carroll

Tom Carroll is the second Swansea player to go into the book.

19:08
Kane shoots just wide

81 mins: Harry Kane twists and turns outside the area and is so close. Low effort just trickles wide of the near post.

19:06
Frustrations grow for Spurs

80 mins: This has been quite a frantic second-half at Wembley after a very pedestrian opening 45 minutes.

Tottenham would be worth a lead, but Swansea are very much worth a point so far. Approaching the final 10 minutes and this could go any of three ways still.

Swansea have a free-kick by Tottenham's corner flag.

19:02
Penalty appeal

76 mins: Appeals for hand ball against Olsson inside the area, his arms are up high but it's not given by Dean.

19:01
SUB: Son OFF, Llorente ON

75 mins: There we go - Llorente goes up top with Kane against his former employers.

18:58
SUB: Abraham OFF, Bony ON

72 mins: A second change for the Swans here. Wilfried Bony, Swansea's No 2, enters the fray.

18:55
Alli heads wide

69 mins: Free header for Dele Alli and he gets it completely wrong. Central area, six yards out or so, hanging in the air but he directs the ball back across goal instead of towards the net.

18:52
Kane header saved

66 mins: Fabianski does brilliantly to tip Harry Kane's stooping header over the bar. Excellent reflexes.

18:50
SUB: Sissoko OFF, Aurier ON

Serge Aurier enters the fray, and Moussa Sissoko gets the early hook. We've had just over an hour.

18:49
YELLOW CARD: van der Hoorn

First booking of the day for the Swansea centre-back after a late challenge outside the area.

18:46
Swansea sub: Sanches OFF, Fer ON

Renato Sanches' quiet introduction to English football continues. He's shown some glimpses of his talent this evening but no more.

18:45
Kane hits the bar!

58 mins: Pressure really building now and Harry Kane whacks an effort from six yards out against the cross bar, and the ball bounces clear.

18:45
Penalty shout

56 mins: Shouts for hand ball inside the Swansea penalty area across Wembley but Mike Dean waves play on. The ball knocked on by Alli, bounces into the side of Ayew's arm, but not deliberate.

Son has a shot easily saved.

18:42
Pressure building

55 mins: Spurs fans ramping up the noise in the stands and the players trying to respond in turn. It's been a bit quicker in this second-half so far, trying to drag Swansea out of position and catch them cold.

But it remains scoreless.

18:37
No penalty

50 mins: Toby Alderweireld is bowled over as he races into the penalty area on the right-hand side but referee Mike Dean is unmoved.

18:34
Eriksen shot saved

48 mins: Tottenham upping the ante almost straight from the off in this second-half. Son pushing more forward to play alongside Harry Kane.

The camera pans to Fernando Llorente on the bench. Gives Spurs an added dimension should they need him.

Skiddy, low shot from Eriksen is well held by Fabianski.

18:31
Back underway!

First-half stats

Tottenham dominant, Swansea determined. Doesn't make for a great spectacle.

18:16
HALF-TIME: Tottenham 0-0 Swansea

Not much has happened, I'm afraid.

18:15
Vertonghen shot saved

45 mins: Long-range effort from Vertonghen, central area, but his shot is too close to Fabianski despite being well struck.

One minute added time to come.

18:14
Swansea go close

44 mins: Van der Hoorn heads over from a Swansea corner. Rose well, centre of the six-yard box, virtually a free header but he knocks it well over.

18:08
Tottenham frustration growsq

38 mins: Tottenham fans growing more and more agitated as they watch their men try and navigate their way through two banks of red shirts. Swansea well organised and nullifying the home side so far.

18:02
Swansea holding firm

32 mins: Swansea growing into this more and more. Tottenham just struggling to get any rhythm up at the moment.

But they've won a free-kick on the left-hand side, 10 yards from the corner of the penalty area. Christian Eriksen stands over it... headed away well.

17:55
Swansea counter-attack

25 mins: Swansea break very well, lovely move - probably the best of the match - Davinson Sanchez brushed aside by Tammy Abraham but Moussa Sissoko nips in ahead of Tom Carroll as he looked set to shoot on goal.

17:53
Dier free-kick over the bar

23 mins: Free-kick for Spurs on the edge of the box, left-hand side. Dier wastes it. Curls it over the bar.

17:48
Son shoots over

18 mins: Nice move from Spurs on the edge of the box. Intricate stuff, three one-twos, Son turns after receiving from Alli but balloons his shot way over the bar.

17:47
Action shots
17:46
Swansea well drilled

15 mins: Tottenham on top here but they've not created much, that Son shot minutes earlier aside. Swansea are well organised and have come here to frustrate the hosts as they search a first league win at Wembley.

17:41
Fabianski saves from Son

11 mins: Marauding run on the left from Son after being played in by Sissoko. He shoots at the near post, and Fabianksi gets a strong hand onto it and palms it behind for a corner.

17:40
Kane free-kick saved

9 mins: Quiet start here. Free-kick from a fair distance that Harry Kane is lining up. It's well hit, curled around the wall, and Fabianski gets down low to palm it behind for a corner.

17:36
Action shots
17:34
Alli volleys wide

4 mins: First shot on goal, a volley wide of the near post from Dele Alli. Didn't quite catch it, ambitious effort.

Will this man face his former club?
17:30

Swansea eye Celtic target Morgan after St Mirren reject £200,000 bid

SIMON JONES: Swansea City are rivalling Celtic and Rangers for talented St Mirren winger Lewis Morgan.

The 20-year-old has scored six goals already following on from an impressive campaign last season when he scored ten goals and earned a call-up to the Scotland U21 squad.

St Mirren turned down a £200,000 offer from Nigel Clough's Burton Albion in the summer even though Morgan has less than 12 months left on contract.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Mauricio Pochettino has revealed how a deflected Harry Kane free-kick three years ago might have saved him from the sack.

The Tottenham manager was attempting to pick his favourite of Kane’s 103 goals for the club on Friday when he divulged how close he felt he was to losing his job before his 10th game in charge.

That was against Aston Villa on November 2, 2014, when Spurs were 11th in the table and 1-0 down with six minutes to play. Nacer Chadli pulled Tottenham level before Kane scored in stoppage time, with his free-kick hitting Nathan Baker and wrong-footing Brad Guzan.
