Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Bolton Wanderers (match abandoned)

17.40GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Bolton Wanderers

We were halfway through writing a summary of a “sedate” opening five minutes only for Bolton to take the lead from a corner. Darren Pratley will claim a second goal in seven days but his header took a wicked enough deflection off Gareth Bale’s shoulder and in.

18.25 – There’s talk of a heart attack or an epileptic fit but, in truth, we don’t really know anything. Many, of course, understandably concerned and just want more information. None forthcoming at moment though. White Hart Lane pitch is empty as Webb has brought the players in and is deciding whether to abandon the game.

18.28 – Very odd and muted atmosphere at White Hart Lane as we wait for news, the stadium understandably engulfed by worry.

18.46 – Last information is that the doctors were still attempting to resuscitate Fabrice Muamba on way to hospital.

19.20 – No  updates over last 20 minutes. All we know is that Muamba has been taken to hospital. Bolton have also released a statement confirming that.

19.56 – We’re closing this blog now. There’s been no news in the last hour. We’ll try keep you updated on the main site but, obviously, the most important thing is that Muamba hopefully pulls through.
