Key Events
- Three changes for Pompey - Robertson, Hackett and Curtis in for Ogilvie, Brown and Hirst. Ogilvie has a nose injury and hasn’t trained. Bass not in squad as he gets set for loan exit.
- Embleton 1-0 (40min)
Pompey’s positive work undone as Carter is caught on the ball after being played under pressure by Harness. The ball is slipped in to Embleton who slides his finish past Bazunu.
Raggett caught in possession by Dajaku with Bazunu out of position but the finish is just past the keeper’s post.
Curtis gifts the ball to Stewart who frees Embleton but it’s a fine save from Bazunu from the curling finish.
