David James created Premiership history as his fine display earned Portsmouth a valuable point against Aston Villa in their quest to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

The former England goalkeeper set a new record of Premiership clean sheets - 142 – and surpassed the previous record holder David Seaman of Arsenal.

James made several important saves, most notably from Craig Gardner in the first half, as Pompey climbed above Tottenham into eighth spot.
