It was a perfect time for Jermaine Defoe to score his first goal since his return to Spurs by knocking in the leveler at the 70th minute mark to give Spurs a vital point and lift them off of the foot of the EPL table. What made the shot even better was that is was perfectly driven between the legs of former Spurs defender Sol 'Judas' Campbell.
Portsmouth had grabbed the lead 10 minutes earlier on a great strike from David Nugent, but there was certainly a sense from the team and the home crowd at White Hart Lane that the match was far from settled. The game up to that point had been a lively affair, with Spurs having the greater number of chances. However, perfect Portsmouth defending and some excellent saves from goalie David James ensured that Spurs would be held scoreless for the majority of the affair.
The bad news for Spurs would be on the injury front, the tally on that from coach Harry Redknapp is at the bottom of the match report from Spurs HERE, most troubling is that captain Ledley King has a hamstring injury requiring his absence for an extended period.
