Paulinho's stoppage-time winner for Tottenham settled a tense encounter against Cardiff to move Spurs into second place in the Premier League.
.
Bluebirds goalkeeper David Marshall produced a series of outstanding saves to keep the Londoners at bay.
.
But the Brazilian back-heeled in Erik Lamela's low cross right at the death.
.
It was nothing more than Andre Villas-Boas' side deserved after dominating for long periods against Malky Mackay's dogged side.
.
Gylfi Sigurdsson was the first Spurs man to be denied by Scotland's Marshall, though at the other end Frenchman Hugo Lloris had to be alert when Fraizer Campbell was given the chance to open the scoring.
.
Home fans were convinced Lloris had handled the ball outside the area as he took it from Campbell's feet.
.
A goal for the hosts would have been against the run of play, however, a fact underlined when Andros Townsend's run and cut- back gave Roberto Soldado a chance.

It was a dope win for the english side.
Cardiff just couldn't do anything but they did well too.
Congratz to AVB!
