It finished one apiece between Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United on a Monday night that kept the relegation battle alive and kicking.
Though many would have predicted the Whites to be in such a situation at the start of the campaign, Daniel Farke's side were guaranteed safety following West Ham's loss against Arsenal on Sunday.
Spurs, meanwhile, were also offered the chance to go four points clear of the 18-placed Hammers with a win.
Nerves jangled from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium stands in a first half that presented the hosts with some scrappy opportunities.
Mathys Tel’s cultured finish acted as a relaxant early in the second half for only twenty minutes. The same right boot soon thrusted the Lilywhites back into the relegation picture, however, as the Frenchman's acrobatic clearance grazed Ethan Ampadu's face.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scorched in his thirteenth league goal of the season from the spot - an equaliser that Roberto De Zerbi's men could not break free of in the closing stages, leaving them hovering only two points above the drop zone.
Here is how the Tottenham players performed on another huge night in north London.
Tottenham Player Ratings
Antonin Kinsky - 9
Solid on the ball, as he has been throughout De Zerbi's stewardship, but two fantastic saves made it a memorable individual display for the Czech.
His first saw him claw back a Joe Rodon header off the goal line, while his second - one of the saves of the season - displayed lightning quick reflexes to tip Sean Longstaff's bullet of a strike onto the crossbar.
Pedro Porro - 6
One of the few progressive passers in the first period and had moments when drifting into midfield. Became less adventurous as the game wore on and a bit lapser defensively.
Kevin Danso - 5
Bailed out teammate Mathys Tel early doors with a vital header. Largely untested at the back, though his limited passing ability made more direct play tricky to come by.
Micky van de Ven - 6
Similar to centre-back partner Danso, the Dutchman was slightly looser and could have been bolder on the ball at times. There was a fine last ditch tackle on Lukas Nmecha though.
Destiny Udogie - 5
Had some good defensive spells in the first half but did not offer much aside, particularly going forward. Subbed off 86 mins.
Joao Palhinha - 6
Struggled in a midfield that needed more fluidity to break down Leeds' block. Did sky a good early chance over the bar. Looked better when dropping into a back three and made a great intervention in the Lilywhites' box shortly after the equaliser.
Rodrigo Bentancur - 6
Probably the best midfielder on the night and did well in his duels. Led the press well in the brief time when Spurs were ahead. Also limited in possession. Subbed off 81 mins.
Conor Gallagher - 5
Did not lead the press as he did against Aston Villa and lacked gusto for most of the contest. Unfortunately reverted to the Gallagher of his first few months at Spurs.
Randal Kolo Muani - 6
Took up good positions and did okay as a nuisance off the ball. Little zing and control with it at his feet, however, meant he rarely mustered any threat.
Mathys Tel - 6
The ultimate mixed bag. The pluses being a wonderfully struck goal and energy in the high press in the aftermath. The negatives being a heart in mouth cross into his own box in the first half and a reckless overhead kick that handed Leeds a penalty. Subbed off 86 mins.
Richarlison - 4
A lapse in controlling a through ball from Porro in the opening ten minutes set the tone for the Brazilian, whose night was full of iffy touches and wayward finishing. Also caused fewer problems for the Leeds backline in his pressing.
Substitutes:
Lucas Bergvall - 5
Subbed on 81 mins. Poise on the ball, probably could have been introduced earlier.
Djed Spence - 5
Subbed on 86 mins. Some positive movements late on.
James Maddison - 5
Subbed on 86 mins. Looked lively but understandably trying to keep things lowkey after over a year out injured.
