RECAP a Portsmouth afternoon to savour as Lang's four goal super show batters Coventry

Good morning from Fratton Park for today’s clash with Coventry City.

Pompey will aim to climb out of the bottom three against Frank Lampard’s side, as they look to bounce back from Pride Park pain against Derby.

We’ll be building up to kick-off with all the talking points from PO4, before team news drops at 11.30am.

Then it’s more chat and video before we bring you live commentary when the action gets underway in the lunchtime kick-off.

LIVE Pompey v Coventry

Four minutes

Lane on for Murphy

It’s a vicious dipping 20 yarder from Murphy just over the bar.

Quadruple Coventry change

Simms, Thomas-Asante, Eccles and Latibeaudiere the four as the visitors flex muscle from bench.

Bishop is denied by an excellent Collins stop and gets a second swipe at the ball - but that man Lang pounces again. Dreamland for the Scouser and Pompey!

LANGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

It’s four - and four from Lang!

'Pompey staying up - that lot down the road going down' is the chant as Fratton bounces!

Knocking the ball around confidently

Potts and Ritchie's deliveries on point all afternoon and it's the West Ham loanee who delivers a corner for Lang to deftly nod home unopposed!

HAT-TRICK!!!!

Pompey on front foot

Winning a corner

No changes

WHAT A STRIKE FROM THE SCOUSER! Potts with the ball in and Lang's aggression sees him win the ball and absolutely leather it home on the angle in the box!

WHAT A STRIKE!!!!!!

Bassette nearly waltzes through the Pompey defence but Swanson does enough to deter the striker.

A peach of a cross from Ritchie is met on the volley at the back post by Ogilvie. It’s straight at Collins, however, a yard either side and it’s a certain goal.
