Subs clinch it for Spurs

22 January 2008
Ramos made changes to turn the Carling Cup final around last month and he did the same again at White Hart Lane.
With snow and sleet making it difficult, the game was fizzling out towards a goalless draw before Bent headed in 10 minutes from time, the 100th goal at Spurs' ground this season, before setting up O'Hara.
A flick from Dimitar Berbatov almost sent through strike partner Robbie Keane as the game began and Spurs' strikers combined again with David James forced into a low save from Robbie Keane.
At the other end, Pascal Chimbonda flashed a volley just wide and Berbatov had the ball in the net in the 28th minute after Keane had slipped him through - but play was called back for offside.
Michael Dawson then thumped a volley onto the crossbar after chesting down Huddlestone's corner.
Pompey's first half suggested they were more focused on Wembley in a fortnight when they meet West Brom in the FA Cup semi-final - and in the early part of the second half there was more Spurs pressure.
Ramos took off Lennon and Dawson for Bent and O'Hara with 20 minutes left.
Bent headed in 11 minutes from the end when Steed Malbranque's shot was blocked and Berbatov's scuffed effort fell into the path of the substitute.
Bent set up the second two minutes later, raiding down the left before crossing for O'Hara to tap into an empty net.
