Tottenham ready for FA Cup and Champions League challenge insists Eidur Gudjohnsen
The 31-year-old scored in Tottenham's 3-1 quarter-final replay win at White Hart Lane and a great night for Harry Redknapp's side was completed with news of Manchester City's defeat to Everton and Aston Villa dropping two points at home against Sunderland.[LNB]''We have a tough run-in but we have players of good quality,'' Gudjohnsen said. ''I'm just pleased to be here.[LNB] Related ArticlesRedknapp relishing Cup reunion with PortsmouthTottenham Hotspur 3 Fulham 1Bobby Zamora strengthens World Cup caseHarry Redknapp: Jamie O'Hara must watch his mouthFA Cup semi-final draw dates announcedSport on television''It's a good squad and we're showing that in the league and cup. That is where we are at the moment, where we end up is where we deserve.''[LNB]Spurs were trailing to a Bobby Zamora goal in a first half dominated by vibrant Fulham before the England hopeful, who was watched last night by Fabio Capello, was taken off with a stomach problem.[LNB]However, Redknapp introduced David Bentley, returning from a groin injury, at the interval and the winger proved the catalyst for a Spurs revival, taking less than two minutes to equalise with a free kick.[LNB]''It might have been my first touch and I don't think I've done that before,'' Bentley said. ''We came out and looked to pick the tempo up. That's what I tried to do and my first touch went in.[LNB]''We needed to put a stamp on the game, that's what the manager told us.''[LNB]Tom Huddlestone was also brought on at half-time, then Redknapp boldly chose to bring on another striker when Vedran Corluka picked up an ankle injury, which requires a scan.[LNB]Roman Pavlyuchenko, who came on for Corluka, scored his ninth goal in eight games before Gudjohnsen tapped in himself.[LNB]''I was well happy with his last substitution because it's risky but it worked,' said Gudjohnsen. 'It was a fantastic decision. With David getting the goal early it gave us a boost, then we pressed forward really well and that won us the game.''[LNB]The match sets up a last-four Wembley clash with Portsmouth, who Redknapp led to FA Cup glory two seasons ago.[LNB]''We'll be confident going into the game against Portsmouth,'' Bentley said. ''It's a great place to play and I can't wait to be there.''[LNB]
