FA Cup: Tottenham Hotspur 0 - Portsmouth 2

Amazingly Portsmouth nullified Tottenham over 90 minutes and then take the lead in extra time, sealing things with a penalty.

And well deserved too, hanging on at times Tottenham never made the most of their openings, and Portsmouth made the most of theirs.

Not a result that I could predict, I thought this would be the end of the road. The now relegated team get another trip to Wembley. A nice way for this team to sign off before returning to the championship with a much depleted squad - probably not to return or repeat this achievement again.

Also nice to see Redknapp beaten, I don't blame him for the club's plight but this is a pretty sweet victory. Manager Avram Grant and the team deserve this moment.
