Tottenham Hotspur-Portsmouth 1:1

David Nugent had given the visitors the lead just before the hour mark but in a clash where the pre-match focus had been on who would be facing their old team-mates, it was almost inevitable that Defoe would strike.

Redknapp left Pompey 84 days before this game and Spurs headed into the match exactly where he found them - rock bottom. Spurs also knew that victory would take them 12th, such is the tightness of the league this season - but in the end the point earned by Defoe lifted them out of the relegation zone.
