On this day: Ron Rafferty completes Portsmouth fight back at Everton

Despite being outplayed by Everton for most of the match, Pompey managed to earn a draw at Goodison Park in front of a crowd of 37,406.

They were behind after nine minutes when an attempted clearance fell to Wally Fielding, who gave Norman Uprichard no chance with a well-placed shot.

It was all Everton and soon Jimmy Dickinson's tackle from behind sent Jimmy Gauld sprawling in the area.

But Tommy Jones' penalty kick struck the upright.

Gauld lobbed Everton into a two-goal lead on 47 minutes but Johnny Gordon quickly reduced the deficit.

Ron Rafferty's diving header nine minutes from time saved a point.

Everton: Albert Dunlop, Don Donovan, Jim Tansey, Ken Birch, Tommy Jones, Peter Farrell, Tony McNamara, Jimmy Gauld, George Kirby, Wally Fielding, Tommy Eglington

Pompey: Norman Uprichard, Tommy McGhee, Alex Wilson, Reg Pickett, Phil Gunter, Jimmy Dickinson, Peter Harris, Johnny Gordon, Gordon Dale, Ron Rafferty, Jackie Henderson
