Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp was thrilled with Luka Modric's performance in their 1-1 draw with Portsmouth.

"Luka was fantastic, unbelievable," Redknapp told the Spurs website. "He showed character, rode tackles, he was brave as a lion.

"We all look at him and say 'can he play in midfield?' but he showed he could do the lot. When we needed him he carried the game to them."
