Key Events

Williams on for Thompson, who gets a fine ovation

Williams being readied for Pompey

Crowley on for Chapman for the visitors.

Hackett into the box and reaches the byline, but his cross looks to be just behind Marquis who would have had an open goal to finish into.

Pompey turn over possession and break but Marquis is too slow and the moment passes in what looked a three on three.

Pompey fans getting behind their side as they push in this second half and they like what they see.

Lovely driving play from Morrell and it’s Harness who crosses, but Curtis’ header at the back post is just into the side-netting. Inches away!

Hussey’s free-kick easily dealt with by Brown
