Spurs may be at the bottom even after a brilliant performance at the Emirates but the celebrated like they where at the top of the table and its that confidence that will get them up the table they've got the fire in the belly and will be no push over for no one, Harry has turned things around big time.

Aaron Lennon's injury-time equaliser capped a stunning fightback from Harry Redknapp's Tottenham against Arsenal.

David Bentley's brilliant early strike put Spurs ahead, but Mikael Silvestre headed Arsenal level before half-time.

William Gallas put Arsenal in front seconds after the re-start and Emmanuel Adebayor bundled home their third.

Darren Bent pulled one back before Robin van Persie added Arsenal's fourth - but Jermaine Jenas's 89th-minute goal and Lennon's tap-in earned a point.

Bookings:
Samba 78

Second-half goals from Gareth Barry and Gabriel Agbonlahor gave Aston Villa victory over unlucky Rovers.

Blackburn drew first blood when Stephen Warnock exchanged passes with Benni McCarthy and fired home.

But Luke Young bundled in an equaliser from Nicky Shorey's cross and James Milner pulled the ball back for Barry to put Villa into the lead.

Agbonlahor raced onto Ashley Young's pass to make it 3-1 before Brett Emerton's injury-time free-kick.

Samuel 41

Bookings:
Lescott 20
Fellaini 90+1

Marouane Fellaini's close-range header from Stephen Pienaar's cross sealed Everton's first win in nine games.

After a dismal first half, Bolton had the better of the second, much of it thanks to Gretar Steinsson, but his strikers failed to match his industry.

Joseph Yobo did well to deny Kevin Davies late on, and the game looked to be drifting to a goalless draw.

But at the death Pienaar found Fellaini, whose header hit the inside of the left-hand post before going in.

Andrew Johnson hit a double as Fulham earned their first win in six games against fellow strugglers Wigan Athletic at Craven Cottage.

Johnson slotted home his first goal for the club in the 10th minute from close range from Paul Konchesky's cross.

Wigan revived briefly, and Paul Scharner should have levelled for the Latics with a simple two-yard header.

Malouda 75


Bookings:
J Cole 11

Chelsea bounced back from their home defeat to Liverpool and ended Hull's sequence of four straight wins with a deserved victory at the KC Stadium.

Frank Lampard's brilliant early lob put Chelsea ahead but Daniel Cousin almost equalised with a low strike from 20 yards that hit the post.

Suicidal hesitation in the Hull defence allowed Nicolas Anelka to steel in and smash home Chelsea's decisive second.

Florent Malouda then converted Ricardo Carvalho's cross from six yards.

Portsmouth
Gerrard (pen) 76




Bookings:
Diarra 49
Diop 77

Steven Gerrard slotted in a 76th minute penalty to earn Premier League leaders Liverpool a win over Portsmouth.

Gerrard scored after Papa Bouba Diop undid his side's resolute performance by handling a corner in Pompey boss Tony Adams' first game in charge.

Until then, Dirk Kuyt's shot being parried against the post was the closest Liverpool had come to a goal.

Afonso Alves' disputed penalty set Middlesbrough on their way to a hard-fought victory over Manchester City.

Boro keeper Ross Turnbull kept out shots by Stephen Ireland and Shaun Wright-Phillips as City threatened.

But the home side took the lead when Daniel Sturridge tangled with David Wheater and referee Lee Mason awarded a spot-kick that Alves converted.

City poured forward in search of an equaliser but Gary O'Neil's breakaway goal in injury time sealed Boro's win.

A Ricardo Fuller header ensured Stoke beat a below-par Sunderland to move out of the Premier League relegation zone.

Fuller came close to giving Stoke a first-half lead, but Anton Ferdinand cleared from near his goal-line.

The lively Jamaican got the winner when he leapt above Sunderland's defence to head home Rory Delap's throw-in from six yards after 76 minutes.

And Fuller could easily gave doubled the score, but the striker hit the post when put through by Michael Tonge.
