LIVE: Pompey v Fleetwood

Key Events

  • The Blues looking to record four consecutive league victories
  • Joe Morrell returns from three-match suspension

Curtis is certainly fouled but rather acrobatically falls down which prompts the ref to book him for diving. He’ll now serve a two-match ban.

Pompey come close to a second as the ball is flicked on at the near post by Harness which forces Cairns into an unusual save with his shoulder.

Game back underway. No changes by Danny Cowley half-time.

Neil Allen’s half-time verdict

HALF-TIME: Pompey 1-3 Fleetwood

Boos ring around Fratton Park. You can see why.

Curtis scores! Powerful down the middle, Cairns goes the wrong way. There’s hope...

43 - Pompey penalty!

Morrell’s cross strikes an outstretched hand of Camp. Curtis looks to be taking.

Fleetwood have three. Pompey caught on the counter attack as Paddy Lane fires a rocket into the top corner from distance. However, Bazunu will feel he should have saved it as it appeared to fly through his hands. That’s proved to be the invitation for an early half-time refreshment for the home crowd.

Curtis receives the ball outside the box, drives towards the goal from the right but drags a shot wide. Was always going to be difficult to score from that angle.
