Full-time: Hawks 0-3 Pompey

Burrell tries to score with the outside of his foot but his effort is deflected wide.

Goalkeeper Josh Oluwayeni is called into action and he does well to claim a ball into the box with Mnoga in the way.

The Blues are well in control here at Westleigh Park - as Joe Newton nearly heads the ball into his own net.

He squared to the unmarked Burrell, who fires straight at the keeper.

53: Bit uncalled for. Hawks midfielder Paul Rooney with an over-the-top challenge on Jay Mingi.

Needs reminding it’s a pre-season friendly.

50 mins: Joash Nembhard nearly puts the ball in his own net following cross from Rumarn Burrell.

The youngster shows what a left foot he has has he fires home with a free-kiock from 25 yards.

What a strike!
