90 The ball goes out for a goal kick to Bolton.
90 Ricketts is caught offside.
90 Big Sam cannot bear to watch as Kiely pumps long. Too long.
90 Parker does brilliantly to win the ball back. Simon Charlton repels the danger. Bicycle kick away from Ricketts.
90 Ricketts is fouled by Costa. Djorkaeff stands over the ball.
90 There are four minutes of added-on time. Can Bolton hang on?

90 Into stoppage time with five minutes added on.

LIVE COMMENTARY
90 A fair result on reflection with both teams hitting the woodwork and spurning chances
90 It is the last meaningful attack of the game as the referee blows his whistle
90 The Italian makes an even better one to turn a Magilton header on to the crossbar, the ball flying to safety
90 Sereni makes another great save from Hitzlsperger to keep Ipswich in the match
88 Reuser looks lively since coming on and he wins a corner but Ipswich can't make it count
84 Bent's header saved by Schmeichel with the game hotting up again

LIVE COMMENTARY
77 Leicester fans are leaving already and I'm not surprised.
75 It's Mills into the area this time, good save again by Walker. He's kept Leeds down to single figures today!
74 Viduka flicks the ball up and volleys on the angle from the edge of the box. Great save by Walker! Great play by Viduka, it was almost arrogant!
70 Nicely brought down by Fowler and cuts inside bit he misses the target. Maybe should have done better there.
69 A good shot from Sinclair out of the blue, Martyn gathers
69 It's almost constant Leeds possession now.

90 Seconds left at Old Trafford from what will be an historic Middlesbrough win
89 Johnsen with a chance on the edge of the area - his shot high and wide of the Middlesbrough goal
89 Neville with the cross - off the hand of Ehiogu - the claim for the penalty waved away by the referee
88 Carbone with a rare break for the visitors - quickly snubbed by Blanc as United again push forward for the equaliser
84 Another Beckham cross is cleared by Schwarzer as United try to salvage a point from the game

LIVE COMMENTARY
90 The full-time whistle goes with the draw leaving the home side deflated and boos ringing out - Sunderland's relegation worries have not eased as they should, whilst the late equaliser gives Southampton a valuable point.
90 McAteer's free-kick doesn't find a Sunderland head.
90 McCann has calmed Black Cats' nerves, as three minutes are added on.
89 Saints are pushing for a winner.
89 Disappointed home fans are starting to stream out.
88 Poor defending has possibly cost Sunderland two points, just as the win seemed to be theirs.

LIVE COMMENTARY
90 Fulham are just three points off the relegation zone and desperately need to turn around their collapse in form. They were not outclassed by Spurs, but looked to lack a scoring threat, unlike the visitors, for whom Sheringham was reborn.
90 The game is ended as Spurs end their long run without an away win, and join Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool only in winning as visitors to Craven Cottage in the Premiership.
90 Nothing Fulham can do seems to be rattling Spurs and Jean Tigana's side are reduced to trying long balls as their losing run looks like stretching to six.
90 Three minutes added on - surely not enough for Fulham.
88 Malbranque's free-kick is beyond any Fulham forward.
88 Hayles is impeded by Gardner to give Fulham a useful-looking free-kick.
