Soccer Round-Up:Harry Redknapp's substitutes came off the bench at White Hart Lane to fire Tottenham into the FA Cup semi-finals at the expense of Fulham. The win adds another twist to this year's competition as Spurs will now face Redknapp's former club and 2008 winners Portsmouth.
Trailing to Bobby Zamora's opener, Redknapp introduced David Bentley at the interval and the winger levelled within two minutes, then Roman Pavlyuchenko came on and netted his ninth goal in eight games.
Eidur Gudjohnsen, who would not have started if Spurs had all their players fit, then booked a place at Wembley to face Redknapp's former club Pompey next month.
“We were in difficult situation after going into the break 1-0 down against a good Fulham side,” explained Redknapp after the match. “But we had to go for it and I had to make some changes.
“We had to hold Pav (Pavlyuchenko) back as long as possible because he has a hamstring problem, but at the same time we had to get him on the pitch. We went for it and luckily it worked. They’ve all played their part even the lads who went off,” added the manager.
In a busy night of Premier League action, a David James howler helped Chelseato a 5-0victory over the league's basement side Portsmouthas the Blues moved a point behind leaders Manchester United.
James was left red faced in the 32nd minute when he raced out of his area to clear a harmless ball forward but missed it completely, albeit after an unfortunate bobble, to allow Didier Drogba the simplest of finishes.
Florent Malouda struck twice after half-time before Drogba got his second and Frank Lampard completed the rout in injury-time as the Blues bounced back from their 1-1 draw at Blackburn on Sunday in emphatic style.
Portsmouth remain 14 points adrift of safety and their relegation could be confirmed on Saturday week when they travel to Blackburn.
