Bolton v Pompey - LIVE

Key Events

  • Blues end a 17-day absence from action as they travel to Bolton
  • Danny Cowley has 18 outfield players to choose from

Bazunu shows his immense talent once again as he is able to dive low from his line and grab hold of a wickedly strick cross from the right. Most ‘keepers would have certainly parried that.

Groans filter around the University of Bolton Stadium as the hosts look pedestrian in their passing. Sideways and backwards passes aren’t going down too well.

George Hirst goes for a spectacular over-head-kick from a Jacobs corner but balloons his effort over the bar. Good technique from the striker but has injured himself in the process. He is walking off the pitch so should be fine to continue. -- “Thanks Geoff”

A shot on target for Pompey! Michael Jacobs’ whipped free-kick finds the head of Raggett whose tame attempt is caught by Trafford. They all count...

Brilliant last-ditched defending from Raggett who is on hand to head away a deep free-kick into hte box before Charles can nod home from close range. Would be 1-0 Bolton without the ex-Lincoln man.

The basketball match continues as Pompey drive down the other end with O’Brien, but he sees his pass to Carter then crossed high and wide by the Blackburn loanee.

Bolton go straight down the other end as Afolayan drives into the box before he squares it to Charles -- whose goalbound strike defelcted wide.

So close for Pompey. Carter recycles the ball on the edge of the Bolton box before he plays a one-two with Harness and delievrs the ball into the box and after a pinball situation where neither side could control, the hosts eventually clear. Need to be more clinical there the Blues.
