Do you agree with how Blues writer Jordan Cross saw it at Fratton Park?

Couldn’t be faulted for the opener as keeper was let down by the defending in front of him, but came to rescue with a fine near-post stop after powerful angled effort from Ellis Simms. Nearly got an assist for Yang after break. Another competent showing as stock continues to grow. Photo: Graham Hunt

Recovered from a rusty start to gain composure in possession and compete well in another back-and-forth battle with Ephron Mason-Clark. Could have been stronger aerially for first goal in battle for header at back post. Replaced by Devlin. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages

Will rue pivotal moment as defender was beaten too easily by Simms for killer second goal. Moment blotted the copybook of defender, who couldn’t maintain promise of Pompey breakthrough. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
