My second home! Tottenham keeper Gomes reveals soft spot for Cottage

Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes admits Craven Cottage is his second favourite place. The White Hart Lane hero produced a super display to earn Spurs an FA Cup quarter-final replay in the goalless draw at Fulham on Saturday - his side's second successive 0-0 at the Cottagers' home. The keeper's performance symbolised a turn around in fortunes at the west London stadium after his mistake led to Roy Hodgson men's 2-1 victory in November 2008. Show stopper: Heurelho Gomes denies Gera And Gomes admits his memories of Craven Cottage are a lot fonder now. He said: 'Yes, it's turning into a special place for me!' 'It's always the best feeling when there is an important moment and Ican help the team win or draw the game, when we get points or in thiscase, to keep going in the FA Cup.' Gomes' point-blank save from Zoltan Gera's bullet header was the highlight of the Brazilian's afternoon. On the save, Gomes added: 'It was a difficult save because it's soclose and the ball travelled so quickly from one side to the other side. 'You have control your movement. I think this was a good save. 'Fulham is not an easy place to play. They are confident now, they beatShakhtar, they play Juventus next week and they do well here. 'It's a tough place to play.
