LIVE: Shrewsbury v Pompey

Key Events

  • Danny Cowley’s side return to action after 10 days away
  • The Blues are looking to record the third consecutive league victory
  • Tyler Walker aiming to score first goal since his loan arrival from Coventry

Early Pompey corner wasted as Curtis fails to beat the first man.

We’re back underway...

Cowley has made one change. Harness replaces Carter. Back four.

Shrewsbury 1-1 Pompey

WHAT A SAVE! Curtis dinks the ball into the six yard box before Hirst directs it towards goal with his head, but is thwarted by a superb point-blank save from Marosi.

Six minutes added time.

Curtis drills the ball across goal but it amazingly evades the on-rushing Pompey players! So close to 2-1.

Pompey now, as you’d expect, enjoying plenty of the ball. However, they’re far too wasteful in the final third so far.
