Bookings: Diarra 38 Belhadj 57 Crouch 80 Hughes 84		Bookings: Woodgate 26 O'Hara 32 Lennon 90+4
Sent off: Diarra 88

Portsmouth showed a good command through the game. Glen Little had a good game and proved well. A stupid late challenge by Diarra cost him a red card.

Former Spurs striker Jermain Defoe put Pompey ahead when he drove in a penalty after Jermaine Jenas needlessly handled a Glen Little free-kick.

Spurs lacked a goal threat but were denied a penalty after an Aaron Lennon cross struck Lassana Diarra's arm.

Peter Crouch nodded in Pompey's second before Diarra was sent-off late on for two bookable offences.
