Arsenal still remain in control of their own fate as they have two games remaining - against Wigan and Newcastle - while Tottenham have just one more game, at home to Sunderland, and are relying on their north London rivals slipping up.Adam swung in a free-kick in the third minute and Spurs were caught flat-footed - particularly Adebayor - as Nzonzi coasted towards the near post to head home, via keeper Hugo Lloris's glove and the post. However, when Adam was given a second yellow card by referee Kevin Friend for a trip on Jan Vertonghen just 78 seconds into the second half, the London side's prospects brightened.But after a draw in midweek against Chelsea, Tottenham knew three points was a must at the Britannia Stadium to stay in the race.Dempsey thought he had pulled the visitors level with a clever flick but it was ruled out for offside. The Welsh winger then had a chance of his own when Scott Parker put him through - but again the hosts' keeper denied Spurs.Their opponents, safe from the drop after halting a dismal winless run to take seven points from their last three games, were obviously keen to put in a performance on their 150th anniversary.However, the American was soon handed another opportunity to bring the sides level when his ball for Aaron Lennon was cut out by Marc Wilson and came back to his feet.The home fans were all kitted out in red-and-white T-shirts laid on by the club to mark the occasion and it was not long until they had something else to celebrate.
