'Buzzing to see those FT scenes. Absolute bargain buy' - how Portsmouth fans reacted to thrilling win at Norwich
Pompey fans on social media have been reacting to the Blues’ 5-3 win at Norwich City.
John Mousinho’s side took a hugely significant step towards Championship safety with a five-star performance at Carrow Road - a win and display that takes them six clear of the relegation zone with three fixures left to play.
Colby Bishop was the Blues’ hero as he scored a perfect hat-trick in what proved to be just a third win on the road this season.
Matt Ritchie and Regan Poole netted the other goals as the outstanding Josh Murphy claimed two assists. But it was the team performance that really stood out in Norfolk, with the togetherness shown helping Pompey keep any lingering threat of relegation firmly at arms length.
Pompey’s remaining games are against Watford (H), Sheffield Wednesday (A) and Hull (H).
Ahead of those games, here’s what the fans have been saying on X after the Blues made it a ‘Great Friday’ for the Fratton faithful.
