TOTTENHAM 2 PORTSMOUTH 0

A double substitution inspired Spurs as Darren Bent and Jamie O'Hara came off the bench to grab two late goals to beat Portsmouth.

With 10 minutes left Bent scored his seventh goal of the season, heading in after a mishit Dimitar Berbatov shot to bring up the century of goals at White Hart Lane this season.

And Bent then turned provider, laying on a tap-in for fellow sub O'Hara to wrap up the three points.

Former-Spurs midfielder Sean Davis could have given Pompey a first-half lead, but his chip was superbly saved by Paul Robinson.

And Michael Dawson hit a fierce drive that cannoned off David James' crossbar.

Both sides failed to put away their chances , until Juande Ramos' inspired double substitution in the 70th minute changed the course of the game.
