Published Date:

Pompey got back to winning ways with a morale-boosting 2-0 success over Spurs today.
A first-half Jermain Defoe penalty and second goal of the season for Peter Crouch was enough to give the Blues their third league win of the campaign.
Harry Redknapp's men buried the ghost of a nightmare week, when they conceded 10 goals, with a dominant victory over the Londoners.
Defoe made no mistake from the spot against his former side after 34 minutes following a clear handball from Jermaine Jenas.
He turned provider for the second after 68 minutes, feeding Armand Traore whose shot was parried by Heurelho Gomes allowing Crouch to nod home.
The only minus point for Pompey was the late sending off of the impressive Lassana Diarra, who was given a second yellow card for a wreckless lunge on Benoit Assou-Ekotto deep in Spurs territory.
The win gives Pompey their third maximum of the campaign and lifts them to ninth in the table.
