Portsmouth striker Aruna Dindane struck deep into stoppage time
to earn his side a valuable point against Sunderland in their Premier
League survival bid.
Darren Bent had given the visitors the lead from a penalty in the
12th minute at Fratton Park, with Ricardo Rocha sent off in the
build-up to the opener.
With Avram Grant sent to the stands, it looked like there was no
way back for Pompey, but Sunderland had Lee Cattermole and David
Meyler dismissed and then Dindane struck at the death.
Grant proved that whatever happens this season, he and his players
are going down with a fight. After a first half where he had a player
sent off and a penalty appeal turned down, Grant snapped and went
eyeball to eyeball with Kevin Friend after marching onto the pitch
to confront the referee. |
