LIVE Accrington 1 Pompey 3

Ogilvie gets a flicked header on a ball in but can’t get his effort on target.

Pompey down to 10 as Pigott walks. The striker is in but takes a heavy touch and then lunges in on Savin. The ref has no hesitation in pulling out the red.

Second goal really taken the sting out of this and quietened the home crowd side down.

Bishop nearly threads ball through to Pigott but Savin gathers.

Fernandes booked for a foul on Morrell

Chance for 3-0 as Hackett squares but Bishop can’t quite arrive to force the loose ball home.

It’s two! What a lovely finish as the ball drops to Hackett from a free-kick and he beautifully guides the ball into the roof of the net from just inside the box!

HHHHACCCCCCKKKKKETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Attendance: 2,473 (603 away fans).

Rodgers fires past the post from Fernandes’ cross.
