Final Whistle

Before I show you the photographic evidence, I must first say that Heurelho Gomes was outstanding on the weekend for Spurs against Portsmouth – he probably got his team 3 points in that game, and is beginning to look like the quality ‘keeper we knew him to be before his first few games for Tottenham [...]
