Spurs’ late show ruins Harry’s return

Tottenham Hotspur 3 Portsmouth 1

Mido converted a harshly-awarded late penalty after referee Uriah Rennie gave handball against Gary O’Neil seven minutes from time, and substitute Jermain Defoe finished his own barren scoring run in the dying seconds.

Redknapp picked nine survivors from his first reign, which ended a year ago, and somehow they survived a near non-stop grilling by Tottenham for more than 80 minutes.
