Tottenham 1-1 Portsmouth Highlights
Posted by By eplmatches at 18 January, at 15 : 12 PM Print
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.
