Lua Lua haunts Newcastle
Last updated : 29 February 2004 By Alex Dale
As revealed by Fratton Faithful earlier this week, Lomana Lua Lua was granted permission by Newcastle United to play against them for his new side. It seemed then like a strange decision, and they were left red-faced as Lua Lua equalised with time running out, as Pompey oozed, rather than climbed, out of the relegation zone.
Harry Redknapp said of the point: "It would have been rough justice if we didn't something from that game.
"We just kept making opportunities and working hard. We've been like this all season.
"We've played some great football against a top side and that point will give us another boost as the players worked so hard and given so much" he added.
