Juande Ramos continued with his knack of inspired substitutions as Darren Bent and Jamie O’Hara came off the bench to fire Tottenham to a 2-0 victory over Portsmouth.

Ramos made changes to turn the Carling Cup final around last month and he did the same in the Barclays Premier League clash with Pompey.

With snow and sleet making chances difficult to come by, the game was fizzling out towards a goalless draw until Ramos made his move.

And he was rewarded when Bent headed in the first 10 minutes from full-time before setting up O’Hara for the second two minutes later.
