Fulham take the lead

Oliver Sanson with the goal after less a minute. He taps in at the far post - unmarked after Fulham make inroads down Pompey’s left.

A terrible staart from the Blues. And Fulham continue to press.

After that quick-fire start, it’s worth noting Poompey appear to be operating a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Lane on the right and Mottoh down the left.

Abu Kamara gets into the Fulham box as the hosts look to fight back but Fulham keeper Borto clears the danger.

Terry Devlin combines well with Lane down the right but his cross into the box is blocked. The ball returns to Lane, though, as the Blues look to step up a gear but his cross finds the first man.

Great chanced for Mottoh

Terry Devlin wins the ball, burts forward and whips in a cross for Koby Mottoh at the back post. It’s inch perfect but the youngster heads wide.

Pompey upping the pressure

It’s Pompey upping the tempo now. They’ve got the visitors pegged back.

The Blues win a free-kick on the edge of the Fulham box. It’s taken quickly to the unmarked Lane, who fies goalwards. Alex Borto makes a smart save, though.

Abu Kamara is next to register an effort on goal - but his curling effort from the edge of the box goes over the bar.

We’re only 15 minutes into this game and it’s proving hugely entertaining.
