Ouch! Pictured: The moment Portsmouth duo Nathan Thompson and Matt Clarke clashed heads during the 5-1 thrashing of Bradford


These pictures show the moment two of Pompey’s most uncompromising players clashed heads in a shuddering collision.
The duo were both forced off the field in the second half of the 5-1 thrashing against Bradford.
It didn’t stop Pompey earning the emphatic win – even with Ronan Curtis later taken off as well with an ankle injury, leaving the Blues to finish with just 10 men on the field.
