LIVE Oxford United 3 Pompey 2

Lengthy stoppage with Freeman down and he’s unable to continue. He’s replaced by Robertson.

Two quickfire excellent Bazunu saves keep Pompey in front - a brave dive at the feet of Bodin and then a strong hand to keep out Brannagan’s curling effort.

Pompey are in front as Curtis does the business after fine link up play from Hirst and Jacobs put the Irishman clear 12 yards out. Ten man Pompey are in front!

CURRRRTTIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSS

I’m told there are reports the medical incident was a Oxford staff member banging his head!

Second half underway. No changes.

The second half’s start has been delayed with a ‘medical incident’ taking place as the players left the pitch and rumours of a tunnel bust-up circulating.
