It’ll be the second time Danny Cowley’s side travel to Gresty Road in 17 days as their February 19 clash was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

However, this time around the Blues could close the gap to the top six to four points after a run of five wins in six matches.

90+1 - Goal for Crewe

Poor from Bazunu as Long pee-rolls an effort from the by-line through his legs. He won’t want to see that again.

Five minutes added time

Pompey lucky to maintain their clean sheet as a melee in the box allows O’Riordan to swivel from four yards out and fire a venomous effort off the bar.

The hosts should definitely have one back as Lundstram is unmarked at the back-post but he mistimes his shot and misses the ball that’s whipped into his path.

Crewe almost snatch an unlikely consolation as Zac Williams’ cross almost catches Bazunu off his line but the Blues ‘keeper was able to tip the ball over the bar.
