EGYPTIAN striker Ahmed "Mido" Hossam marked his debut with two goals to sink Portsmouth and end Tottenham's run of five matches without an English Premiership victory. Diomansy Kamara headed Portsmouth into a first-half lead before Mido levelled with a powerful header from Simon Davies' inviting cross. The loan signing from AS Roma stabbed Spurs in front on the hour from close range after Jermain Defoe had set him up. Substitute Robbie Keane sealed it with a delicate lob from Andy Reid's pass. Spurs gave Mido his first start after being an unused substitute at Bolton and the Egyptian striker had the game's first shot, firing over after neat set-up play by Timothee Atouba and Simon Davies. Mido almost brought an instant response with a sharp turn and shot which Dejan Stefanovic deflected wide, and Spurs were then denied a penalty as Stefanovic got away with a tug on Jermain Defoe's shirt as he threatened to burst clear. Spurs deservedly drew level on 34 minutes as Davies' cross was tailor-made for Mido to escape Linvoy Primus and power in a header from seven yards. Mido was in action again at the start of the second half, with a brave header which went wide and earned him a nasty bang on the head for his pains.
