The hero at Pompey

Filed under: Chelsea, EPL, Harry Redknapp, Jermaine Defoe, Portsmouth

After Nicolas Anelka (a fellow transfererer)  slipped in a Joe Cole knock down off a counter attack from a no call hand ball of Claude Makalele,  Fratton Park faithful were rightfully worried.  It would be only 9 minutes later that Jermaine Defoe would start his dream debut, starting with a long ball from keeper David James, flicked on by Milan Baros and coolly slotted in the 64th minute.  While the game ended in a 1-1 result, ol’ Harry was definitely happy with his new look squad after Chelsea’s record was 47 wins in 50 games after taking the lead.
