FULL TIME REPORT
West Brom secured a vital three points this afternoon as Jake Livermore's 93rd minute winner ensured Darren Moore extended his undefeated run as West Brom boss to five games since taking over. Spurs had been the better side, just, throughout the course of the game but lacked the cutting edge required to make the breakthrough, with Harry Kane in particular spurning some gilt-edged chances. With time running out and West Brom destined for the drop, Livermore was quickest to react to a loose ball and poked home to send the home support delirious. Chances were created by both in what was an open game with Spurs' best chance dropping to Kane in the first half but Ben Foster made a superb one-handed save while two other headers went wide of the goal. Ahmed Hegazy missed a golden chance from a free header for West Brom before former Spurs man Livermore took his only chance. West Brom live to fight another day, West Brom 1-0 Spurs.
90'
FULL TIME
Jubilant scenes as the full time whistle goes. As it stands West Brom are still not mathematically relegated. They created history in 2005 as they became the first team to stay up having been bottom at Christmas and if results go their way they may just do it again. Full time, West Brom 1-0 Spurs.
90'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
Unbelievable scenes here at the Hawthorns. West Brom lead wiith only two minutes of added time to play. A corner comes in from the left and causes all sorts of pandemonium for the away side, They can't get it clear and there is JAKE LIVERMORE, the former Spurs man, who pokes a loose ball over the line to send the home fans into ecstasy.
90'
FIVE MINUTES ADDED ON
There will be five additional minutes. Can West Brom get a winner?
90'
MISS
This could be the miss that sends West Brom down. A corner somehow finds its way to the back post and drops to Grzegorz Krychowiak but the Polish international lashes at it and slams the ball high and wide from all of three yards.
77'
CHANGE
Another change for the hosts now as they go searching for the elusive goal. Nacer Chadli is on against his former club and off goes Jay Rodriguez.

End-to-end stuff here as we enter the final moments of the game. Kieran Trippier is the latest to have an attmpet on goal but he sees his effort blocked well by Craig Dawson.
73'
SUB
West Brom make a sub now and on comes Daniel Sturridge as they hope to find a goal. Salomon Rondon takes his place on the bench.
68'
ALL SPURS
The flow of the game is mirroring the beginning of the opening half with Spurs holding the ball while West Brom back off. West Brom do need a goal however or they will join Stoke in the Championship next season.

CHANCE
West Brom have another chance but as the ball comes into the box there is Jan Vertonghen is there to intervene and puts in a fine tackle to thwart the danger.
53'
HEADED OVER
Another chances falls the way of Harry Kane and you feel it's not going to be his day as the England forward connects with a crossw ell but can only direct his heade over the bar.
49'
FLUFFED HIS LINES
West Brom are presented with a marvellous chance to go ahead but as Kieran Gibbs' cross from the left comes to Salomon Rondon, the Venezuelan forward gets his feet tangled and mishits his effort, allowing the Spurs defence to come back and clear the danger.
46'
SECOND HALF
The game resumes with no changes for either side at the break.
45'
HALF TIME REPORT
We're all square at the break in what has been an entertaining opening 45 minutes between these two sides. The away side started off on the front foot but a resolute West Brom side - fighting for their life at the foot of the table - held strong and defended wave after wave of attack from their North London counterparts. Harry Kane spurned the visitors' biggest chance as he hit straight at Ben Foster when slipped into the box. Moments later he headed wide as the chances came. West Brom then turned the half on its head and almost went ahead through Ahmed Hegazy but he could only head wide of the goal. Hopefully we'll have more chances in the second half, join us soon for all the action.
45'
HALF TIME
The whistle goes and it's all square at the break. 0-0.
45'
ONE MINUTE
There will be one additional minute.
6'
SHORT CORNER
Spurs win an early corner which is played short and knocked back to Christian Eriksen who tries to send a cross into the box but it's blocked and out for another corner. Again West Brom deal with the threat and play is hoofed into the Spurs half.
44'
WIDE
The whole face of the game has been turned upside down as the half has gone on. West Brom are the ones creating the chances now and a corner is planted onto the head of Ahmed Hegazy but the Egyptian's effort whistles past the far post.
42'
HAVOC
A long ball into the box from a free kick causes havoc in the Spurs area and it falls through to Jay Rodriguez who hooks it back across goal and but for Toby Alderweireld's intervention the hosts would likely be ahead. Corner West Brom.
39'
FREE KICK
Another chance drops the way of the visitors. Eriksen is the one who takes it but in unlike fashion hammers it into the West Brom wall and the hosts clear the danger.
34'
OFFSIDE
Kane is slipped through once again from an intricate pass from playmaker Eriksen but the assistant's flag is up quickly up and the chance fizzes out.
30'
CHANCES
The chances are coming for the away side now and they have two glorious opportunities to take the lead. First Harry Kane is lid in by a neat pass from Kieran Trippier down the right but his effort is well saved by Foster who gets a strong hand to it to put out for a corner. From that the ball is played to Christian Eriksen who curls over a beautiful cross which Kane gets his head to but can only direct wide of the goal.
25'
WAYWARD
West Brom sit back and allow Spurs to hold possession 35 yards from goal. Play comes to Danny Rose who sets himself but fires a wayward shot high and wide, causing Ben Foster no problems.
21'
ATTACKING
The hosts have come into their own over the last few minutes and are having a sustained spell of pressure in the Spurs half. However they're failing to produce anything in the way of chances.
16'
FREE KICK
West Brom have their first chance of the afternoon as a free kick is launched long into the box. It's nodded back well by Jay Rodriguez and falls to Matt Phillips who goes to volley at goal but is pulled up for a high foot as Danny Rose goes in with his head to block.
13'
FOUL
Persisten hassling from Kieran Trippier down in the bottom corner with Kieran Gibbs is deemed to rough for ref Mike Jones and he awards a free kick the way of the home team as the Spurs players protest for a corner.
10'
POSSESSION
The hosts have had the lion's share of the bal thus far but are failing to break down a resolute home defence. With the hosts knowing that only a win will do you expect that will change as the game goes on and they search for a goal.

UNDER WAY
The game kicks off at a sun-soaked Hawthorns.

PREVIEW
West Brom host Spurs at the Hawthorns this afternoon knowing that only three points can delay what is an inevitable return to England's second tier. Under Darren Moore's guidance since his appointment in early April, the hosts have shown signs of improvement however it looks to have come too late in the season for them to survive. They went through April undefeated, winning two from four - including a victory at Old Trafford - at that run has seen Moore nominated for manager of the month. The Midlands side welcome a very much in-form Spurs team who have Harry Kane fit and scoring following his recent ankle injury. The visitors' form has dropped in recent weeks and Mauricio Pochettino's men have picked up just one win from their last four outings in all competitions, all this after a seven-match winning streak.

TEAM NEWS
Nacer Chadli is available for the hosts again and may feature against his former club at some point. The home team are without Gareth Barry and James Morrison due to injury though. Mousa Dembele went off during the win against Watford last week and is unlikely to be risked today, while Danny Rose and Harry Winks will face late fitness tests.
