Marquis nets for the first time since Sunderland!

‘We are staying up’ is jokingly chanted briefly around Fratton Park....

Pompey should be two-up as Marquis decides against squaring the ball to Hackett and instead goes alone as his tame effort is saved well by Dixon.

John Marquis improvises brilliantly to flick the ball up and over Dixon who can only claw at his effort as it bounces over the line! 1-0!
