Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

Eboue did his side no favours by getting himself sent off

Robbie Keane drew a blank on his return to White Hart Lane as Arsenal survived the first-half dismissal of Emmanuel Eboue to earn a point against Tottenham in the north London derby.

Arsene Wenger's side - who also lost Emmanuel Adebayor to a hamstring injury and left new signing Andrey Arshavin as an unused substitute - will be happier with the stalemate after a frenetic encounter short on quality.

In reality, however, the result did little to help Spurs' bid to escape the Premier League danger zone or the Gunners' attempts to force their way into the top four.

Eboue was sent off by referee Mike Dean after 37 minutes for lashing out at Luka Modric, after earlier being needlessly booked for dissent.

Keane had a busy debut, flashing a header just over and shooting narrowly wide in the second half, but Arsenal's rearguard action ensured Spurs must wait to end their sequence of failing to beat their arch-rivals in the Premier League since 1999.

The home side enjoyed superiority in terms of possession and territory, and it took a vital block from Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia to deny Modric when he raced clear in injury time.

Modric and Aaron Lennon also forced earlier saves from Almunia, while Roman Pavlyuchenko missed two good opportunities.

Arsenal rarely threatened at the other end, but when they did Alex Song wasted their best chance when he shot wide from eight yards following a corner.

Tottenham keeper Carlo Cudicini was relatively untroubled until he turned over a shot from Nicklas Bendtner late on.

Wenger will be satisfied with the resilience demonstrated by his 10 men, but he cut an animated and frustrated figure for much of the afternoon.

He insisted his side were never in serious trouble, despite playing with a man less, and was furious that Eboue was denied what he felt was a legitimate goal in the 14th minute when referee Dean ruled Spurs defender Jonathan Woodgate had been fouled.

The loss of two more points surely kills off any lingering suggestion that Arsenal might be involved in the Premier League title race, and increases the pressure in their attempt to break into the Champions League places.

Wenger hits out at 'unacceptable' decison

Spurs gave newly appointed captain Keane an instant debut after his return from a miserable spell at Liverpool - but Wenger decided to keep Arshavin on the bench.

The visitors' main danger in a fiercely contested first half came down the flanks, with Eboue an early threat after being played in by Robin van Persie.

But Harry Redknapp's side had moments of their own, with Lennon's low drive producing a save from Almunia and Pavlyuchenko shooting over from a promising position.

Modric has shown signs of flourishing under Redknapp's guidance after struggling, along with many others, under the stewardship of Juande Ramos.

The Croatian was at the heart of most of Spurs' best efforts, creating an opening for Lennon with an astute pass inside Gael Clichy and then forcing Almunia into action with an effort from 20 yards.

Spurs were almost the architects of their own downfall after 31 minutes when Vedran Corluka's clumsy attempts to shepherd the ball out of play saw him robbed by a combination of Samir Nasri and Clichy, but Arsenal wasted the opportunity.

Arsenal suffered a double blow as the interval approached, when first Adebayor was stretchered off with a hamstring injury and Eboue was sent off after 37 minutes.

Redknapp encouraged by Spurs display

Eboue had been booked by referee Dean earlier after a prolonged bout of dissent, and he saw red for kicking out at Modric following a clash that also saw the Spurs midfield man booked.

Spurs, with morale lifted by their numerical advantage, pressed after the break with Pavlyuchenko failing to hit the target with an angled effort and Keane glancing Lennon's cross on to the top of the net.

Redknapp clearly felt his side needed extra attacking impetus to break down what was becoming a rearguard action from Wenger's side, and he responded by sending on Darren Bent for Pavlyunchenko after 63 minutes.

But it was the Gunners who created the big opening six minutes later, only for Song to steer Van Persie's corner wide from eight yards.

Keane had only been given fleeting chances, but he almost fashioned an opening with a right-foot volley that flew just wide.

Bendtner then nearly provided a stunning finale with a volley that Cudicini did well to turn over - but there was still time for Modric to close in with only Almunia to beat, but the Arsenal keeper ensured the spoils were shared.

Benitez stands by team selection

Benitez's praised his squad for their efforts at Fratton Park

Rafael Benitez defended his decision to rest key players despite his Liverpool side having to wait until the final minute to secure victory at Portsmouth.

The Reds boss started without key strikers Dirk Kuyt and Fernando Torres, with the pair coming on late to both score and help the side to a 3-2 win.

"Torres is part of the squad, but without the other players we would not be where we are," said Benitez.

"We saw the quality in the squad. We could have lost but deserved to win."

The Spaniard rested some his main stars after Liverpool went out of the FA Cup at Everton in midweek in a game which went to extra-time and one in which they had a player sent-off.

The selection issues for the Pompey game brought into doubt Benitez's decision to sell Robbie Keane to Tottenham in the recent transfer window.

The Reds were left with only two experienced strikers in the squad, Kuyt and Torres, while midfielder Steven Gerrard's absence with a hamstring injury also brought the decision into question.

But Benitez had insisted after kean'e exit that forwards like David Ngog, 19, and Dutchman Ryan Babel, offered him sufficient depth in his squad.

His theory was tested as he opted to give Ngog his first league start at Fratton Park with Babel also starting in a forward position.

But both struggled to make an impact and Babel was guilty of a horrendous miss just before David Nugent gave Portsmouth the lead.

The impressive Fabio Aurelio hauled Liverpool level with a powerful free-kick moments later, before Hermann Hreidarsson restored Portsmouth's advantage.

But goals in the final five minutes from substitutes Kuyt and then Torres completed an epic fightback to keep up the pressure on title rivals Manchester United.

The Spaniard added: "We saw a lot of resolve. We saw different players working hard on the pitch, trying to keep the ball, Fernando and Xabi Alonso did that well.

Benitez praises resilience of squad

"They all worked hard for the team and the fans.

"Every win is an important victory, especially now that we are close to the top. I'm really pleased that the lads showed they had character and played well. We need to keep working and keep our confidence high now."

Portsmouth manager Tony Adams remained upbeat and confident of keeping his position at Fratton Park despite the defeat which leaves his side without a win in the league since 30 November and one point above the relegation places.

When asked if he still was well supported at the club, the former England defender said: "One hundred percent yes. I have spoken to the chairman and so far so good."

Adams still has faith despite defeat

He added: "We just need to start picking up points. We have to fight all teams playing around us and we'll fight all the way.

"Performances don't lie and the crowd were fully supportive of the players, their work rate and performance. They have given it all for me but unfortunately they are making mistakes.

"They are great players here but it's been the same thing all season, right back to first game. I have faith in them still."
