That could well be a defining few moments in the Spurs 11/12 season. Having fought back from 2-0 down to be level against Man City, we go into the four minutes of stoppage time still hoping to come away with a point, and just maybe pinch all three.
Bales breaks down the left, and squares the ball inside the box. Defoe lunges, catches the ball with the end of his boot, and it squirts just outside the post. I scream at the telly.
Barely a minute later a long ball comes in towards the Tottenham box, is nodded on to Balotelli, who hustles his way into a danger area and collapses in a heap. We'll gloss over the fact that it is doubtful whether Balotelli should even have been on the pitch by this stage in proceedings, having appeared to stamp on Scott Parker not long previously.
The play is no longer important, as I watch to see what Howard Webb is going to do. He puts whistle to mouth, and points to the spot. I scream at the telly again.
Balotelli puts the penalty past Friedel, and it's all for nothing.
I go off in a huff.
A win today would have put us within two points of City. A draw would have kept the gap at five.
As it is, we are eight points back.
The next few weeks are going to be tough. Our fixture list makes for some nervy reading. We've got Wigan at home a week on Tuesday, but then our next four are Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal and Man United. We're going to need to dig deep if we are hoping to still be in contention come the start of March.
