14: Baines pulls down Johnson after a run down the line from the England man. Croucn heads Diarra's cross down but Everton clear.
17: Pompey are causing problems in wide areas. Johnson's raking cross is headed back across goal by Crouch to Defoe who fires a shot in which Howard superbly tips around the post.
22: Everton are so nearly back in it. Arteta volleys Yakubu's cross but James touches his effort onto the post and then somehow gathers the loose back with the Spanish midfielder about to tap the ball home.
