Right. That'll do it from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Professional stuff from Spurs.
Time to switch our attentions to the three o'clockers.
Four games for your consumption this afternoon, starting in little more than half an hour, which means it is high time for some more team news...
And there we are.
Eight teams in action this afternoon, then, and there are a couple of stories in focus today.
It has been a great Premier League season with a proper title race, a close battle for the top four, the re-emergence of a proper mid-table and something of a relegation contest, even with two teams already down.
It is those latter two that draw our attention in this window of fixtures...
Cardiff are desperately trying to stay afloat, by hook-or-by-crook in typically hard-fought Neil Warnock fashion.
They are five points behind Southampton in 17th with Brighton also being dragged into the relegation mire.
All three are in action today. Cardiff go to Turf Moor, while Brighton and Southampton welcome Bournemouth and Wolves to their south-coast homes.
Three home wins would put the Welsh side in real strife...
It has been a muddle in the middle all season with a race for seventh-place that no-one has truly seized hold of as the Premier League's mid-table sides have battled inconsistency.
Leicester's defeat against Newcastle last night has opened the door for both Wolves and Everton to usurp the Foxes as the best-of-the-rest.
Everton play relegated Fulham in the fourth of the 3pm fixtures on the back of three wins on the bounce, one point back from Wolves and Leicester, though it is something of a jumbled mess with a number of games in hand still to be played.
