Harry Redknapp enjoyed a successful return to his former club Portsmouth as Tottenham won 2-1 in the Premier League at Fratton Park. More
90+5' The full-time whistle goes at Fratton Park, and Tottenham cling on to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Portsmouth with both sides being reduced to 10 men! Jermain Defoe and Ledley King's goals were enough for Spurs despite Kevin-Prince Boateng's second-half strike! Thanks for joining us.
90+4' Belhadj whips in a corner for Portsmouth as the hosts pile on the pressure but, as Spurs clear, Brown trips Lennon once more and is shown a second yellow!
90+2' A horrible foul from Michael Brown on Assou-Ekotto sees him booked and that was very cynical indeed. The Spurs left-back is also cautioned for his furious response.
89' The final substitution is made by Paul Hart as John Utaka comes on to replace Steve Finnan in a final throw of the dice.
86' Palacios handles accidentally on halfway and Dowd gives him a yellow card - that was very harsh!
84' Dawson does indeed come on to replace Tom Huddlestone as Spurs brace themselves for a final onslaught.
81' What a chance for Pompey to equalise! Belhadj whips in a deep delivery which Piquionne heads narrowly wide of Gomes's far post with the keeper stranded!
76' Mokoena is replaced by Nadir Belhadj as Portsmouth freshen up their midfield.
68' Yebda is shown a yellow card for a mistimed challenge on Crouch as the play continues to lurch from end-to-end.
65' Gomes makes a stunning stop to deny Yebda, who volleys on target following a long ball from Brown which picks him out behind Wilson.
63' Wilson Palacios comes on to replace Niko Kranjcar in an attempt to bolster the Spurs midfield.
61' Tommy Smith is coming off for Portsmouth now as Paul Hart brings on Frederic Piquionne.
59' Crouch battles superbly in attack for Spurs and creates an opening from nothing with a deft piece of skill before shooting narrowly wide!
58' What drama at Fratton Park: Defoe is sent off for a stamp on Mokoena! That was entirely unnecessary and pretty petty, but Phil Dowd had no hesitation!
57' GOAL!!! BOATENG GETS ONE BACK FOR POMPEY! The former Spurs midfielder gets his side back in it with a rasping shot from the edge of the area which beats Gomes at his near post!
56' Another atrocious miss from Dindane as the ball is squared across the goalmouth by Smith with Gomes beaten!
55' Gomes makes a stunning save to deny Tommy Smith! The former Watford man gets forward and attempts an exquisite volley, but Gomes tips it away at full stretch!
53' Peter Crouch comes on to replace the relatively ineffectual Robbie Keane in Tottenham's first change.
46' The second half is underway at Fratton Park and Portsmouth kick us off looking to erode their two-goal deficit.
45+2' Phil Dowd brings the first half to a close with Tottenham leading 2-0 courtesy of goals from Ledley King and Jermain Defoe! Portsmouth fans will be left to rue the inexplicable miss from Dindane which could have given their side an early lead.
45+1' GOAL!!! DEFOE CELEBRATES HIS RETURN WITH A GOAL! Jenas and Huddlestone combine with intricate short passes, before Defoe stabs the through ball past the helpless James to double Spurs' lead just before half-time!
41' Kaboul gets down the right wing but strays offside, and that was sloppy again from the hosts.
31' GOAL!!! Ledley King gives Tottenham the lead! Kranjcar drifts in a deep corner which King rises imperiously to head past James to nick the opening goal for the visitors!
26' What a save from Gomes! Boateng drills the free kick low to the keeper's right, before it takes a vicious deflection off Tommy Smith, but somehow Gomes gets a hand on it to turn the ball over the bar!
25' Jermaine Jenas is booked for tripping Boateng, who nips past the midfielder with a neat touch to win a dangerous free kick for his side.
15' Kevin-Prince Boateng attempts an audacious effort from just inside the halfway line, but the ball dips narrowly over Gomes's bar - the keeper had it covered just about, but that was a decent effort from there!
13' Corluka is caught out by Smith down the left and a terrific cross is zipped across the goalmouth, but inexplicably Dindane stabs his shot over the bar! That has got to be the miss of the season!
10' DEFOE HITS THE POST! The Spurs striker has looked incredibly bright early on and it was a superb through ball from Huddlestone which found Defoe in space - his strike beats James but not the post!
9' Another good delivery from Smith runs right across the goalmouth with Dindane and Yebda unable to get on the end of it.
7' Lennon dinks a precise cross from the right byline back to Defoe, but his header is poor and drifts wide - a good chance for the striker!
3' Defoe then shows the best of himself with an electric swivel and shot, cutting right through the heart of the Portsmouth half.
1' Phil Dowd is the referee for this afternoon's match and he will get us underway with Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe kicking off for Tottenham.
