LIVE: Plymouth v Pompey

Key Events

  • Pompey looking to extend their unbeaten run to nine league games
  • Danny Cowley’s side also aiming to reduce the gap to the top six to four points

Brilliant defending by Pompey as Raggett and Hume produce impressive blocks to deny Jephcott who had two bites of the cherry. As a result, the left-back receives treatment for a head injury.

Hirst does brilliantly to turn with the ball on the touchline and send Curtis down the wing. Before the winger could turn the screw he was quickly surrounded by green shirts and hustled off it.

A moment to forget to Morrell as he looks to switch the play under no pressure, but fires the ball out for a throw.

Back underway at Home Park. No subs for either side.

Neil Allen’s half-time verdict

HALF-TIME: Plymouth 0-0 Pompey

One minute of added time.

Finally a decent corner for Pompey. This time taken by Morrell as Ogilvie rises and directs the ball at goal before a diving Argyle defender blocks.

Five minutes remaining of the first half, Pompey yet to test Cooper in the Plymouth goal.
