General Topology, chapter I, § 8. Hausdorff spaces and regular spaces

Let f,gf, g be two continuous mappings of a topological space XX into a Hausdorff space YY; then the set of all x∈Xx \in X such that f(x)=g(x)f(x) = g(x) is closed in XX.

For this set is the inverse image of the diagonal of Y×YY \times Y under the mapping x↦(f(x),g(x))x \mapsto (f(x), g(x)), which is continuous (§ 4, no. 1, Proposition 1). The result therefore follows from (Hii) and § 2, no. 1, Theorem 1.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
