Saturday's final game sees Tottenham host Everton in a game that both teams desperately need to win.

We will have all the latest updates from Wembley right here.

15' - Close!

Spurs are awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box after a foul on Dele Alli by Idrissa Gueye. Christian Eriksen takes it but Son Heung-min puts his header just wide of the far post.

16' - Wayne Rooney gets on the end of Cenk Tosun's smart knockdown but the Everton No10 drags his shot wide of Hugo Lloris' far post from the edge of the area.

23' - Wayne Rooney has the ball in the net for Everton... but the linesman flag correctly goes up.

At the other end of the pitch Harry Kane has a couple of shots but Jordan Pickford keeps both of them out fairly comfortably.

GOAL! Spurs 1-0 Everton (Son)

26' - The unmarked Serge Aurier receives the ball from Christian Eriksen on the right wing before drilling the ball across the face of goal and Son Heung-min is on hand to slot home from just six yards out.

That was so easy for Spurs - too easy, you probably have to say.

32' - Cenk Tosun gets on the end of Jonjoe Kenny's cross but the ball is a little too high for the Everton new boy and his header loops over the bar.

39' - Everton may be losing but they've not been outplayed here. Sam Allardyce will be pleased with the performance of new boy Cenk Tosun, who has shown a few glimpses of real quality in the first half.

45' - Phil Jagielka picks up the first booking of the match for a late challenge on Dele Alli.

'Taking one for the team' is, I believe, the correct term for that type of foul.
