English Premier News :: Premier League : Tottenham 1-1 Portsmouth - Video of Goals

Posted on 2009-01-18 by Gooner

Jermain Defoe scored against his old club to earn Tottenham a point that lifts them out of the Premier League relegation zone on goal difference.

Portsmouth keeper David James, who made a series of superb stops, denied Aaron Lennon seconds before David Nugent put Pompey in front with a deflected shot.

But Luka Modric set up Defoe to drill home an equaliser soon after, and Spurs pushed forward in search of a winner. Darren Bent should have won it for Spurs but headed wide from close range.

Although a draw does little to improve the prospects of either side, it was probably the fairest outcome from a frenetic encounter that lived up to its pre-match billing on and off the pitch.
