A superb brace from Mido on his debut helped end Spurs 4 game winless streak.

Spurs went behind against the run of play just before the half hour mark as Kamara headed Pompey in front from their first attack of the game.

Prior to that, it had been all Spurs with Mido proving to be a handful for the Portsmouth defenders. Conceding the goal did not knock us out of our stride and we should have had a chance to level just 4 minutes later as Defoe squirmed through the defence and got pulled back by Stefanovic when he was clean through on goal and about to pull the trigger.

We didn't have to feel too hard done by for long though as from the next attack we got back on level terms, Davies putting in an excellent cross which Mido rose to power home.

Kamara had a goal rightly disallowed for handball just before the break as the teams went in all square at half time.

Spurs continued to dominate after the interval and 10 minutes in took the lead as Defoe crossed to give Mido the simplest of tap-ins.

Mido was withdrawn just after the hour as Martin Jol did not want to aggravate the injury that had forced the Egyptian to undergo a late fitness test before being selected in the starting line up.

The other debutant Andy Reid remained on display and with 10 minutes to go hit the post. Moments later Reid played a part in making the game safe, lofting a ball to Keane who lobbed the ball over Chalkias in the Portsmouth goal.

For the 1st time all season we managed to win having gone behind and created plenty of chances besides those we scored from. Defensively except for slack marking for their goal we were relatively untroubled.

Special mention must go to Timothee Atouba for once again causing mass hysterics and more than the odd heart attack by doing a fancy little sidestep in the middle of his own crowded penalty area, having been switched to centreback for the last 10 minutes. If the boy had brains he'd be dangerous!

MOTM:- Mido. Instant impact from the big Egyptian forward. Combined his height and power with good touch and close control.
