Massimo Luongo is handed a straight red card for a challenge on Curtis who has stayed down after the challenge. There’s plenty of time for Pompey to use the man advantage.

Curtis finds himself free at the back post and his header from close range is denied by a superb clawing save from Peacock-Farrell who turned the ball off the line.

Small commotion breaks out on the touchline as Curtis and Johnson tussle for the ball. Referee gives both a warning.

Harness breaks down the wing but again is let down by a poor cross that goes immediately behind for a goal-kick.

From the resulting corner the ball broke to Romeo who lashed over wildly

Hackett lets fly from the edge of the box and his fierce effort is matched by a top save from Peacock-Farrell who tipped over
