Full time: Swansea 2-2 Tottenham
Spoils shared at the Liberty Stadium as neither Swansea or Tottenham can force a late winner. Andre Ayew and Harry Kane's own goals were cancelled out by two Christian Eriksen free-kicks Andros Townsend and Bafetimbi Gomis both went close but it it a point for both sides.
Well that is all we have time for on this live blog. We're back with live coverage of the international break next week but until then goodbye.
Goal: Swansea 2-2 Tottenham (Christian Eriksen)
Eriksen doubles up from two free-kicks to draw Spurs level for a second time. If Fabianski was at fault for the first one, he could do nothing to stop the Dane on this occasion as he curls a beauty into the top corner from a wide angle. Outstanding hit and still 25 minutes remaining.
Half time: Swansea 2-1 Tottenham
Entering first half at the Liberty Stadium which has Swansea heading for their first win since August. Andre Ayew and Christian Eriksen exchanged goals before Harry Kane smashed into his own goal to give Swansea the lead for a second time. A game which has summed both sides' season.
Goal: Swansea 2-1 Tottenham (Harry Kane own goal)
Swansea force another corner as Montero continues to probe Kyle Walker and it leads to the hosts taking the lead for a second time. Jonjo Shelvy's corner is flat and under-hit and Kane is seemingly on hand to clear, but instead he is hit by a rush of blood to the head and slashed wildly at the ball which flies beyond Hugo Lloris.
Goal: Swansea 1-1 Tottenham (Christian Eriksen)
Christian Eriksen with his first goal of the season with a very clever free-kick. From the inside left channel he shapes to shoot towards the near-post but changes his mind upon hitting the ball and with Fabianski wrong-footed the ball goes around the ball and beyond the Swans stopper.
Goal: Swansea City 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur (Andre Ayew)
A fine goal from the Swans to open the scoring against Spurs. Gomis and Montero combine and when the Ecuadorian cross, Ayew rises above Vertonghen and Alderweireld and heads beyond Lloris from eight yards. Fine goal and Swansea's first from open play for over a month.
It has been a superb seven days for Tottenham. Victory over Manchester City was followed with an impressive point in Monaco, which could have even seen Mauricio Pochettino's side take all three points. Dele Alli was also called into the England squad for the first time after an excellent to life in the top flight. Today they could go into the top four with a win at Swansea.
After a record points season for Swansea last term, it would be fair to say the fortunes of the South Wales club have turned during the new campaign. Garry Monk's side have not won since August having failed to get three points during September. Tottenham meanwhile continue to range from the sublime to the ridiculous but they dispatched Manchester City last weekend to kick-start their season. Teams news and updates on the way.
