RECAP the Trophy action as Portsmouth advance to second round at Leyton Orient
A place in the second round of the EFL Trophy is up for grabs at Brisbane Road.
Expect changes aplenty against the O’s as we build-up to kick-off in east London before the team news drops at 6pm.
Then it’s more talking points before the action gets underway against Richie Wellens’ side at 7pm.
LIVE Leyton Orent 1 Pompey 1
Off the post for the home side as Drinan crosses and Sotiriou flicks his shot off the post from just outside the six yard box.
Lovely move involving Whyte, Saydee, Jewitt-White and Yengi and it’s the Bournemouth arrival who atones for the earlier miss with a smart low finish from the the edge of the box.
Another cross from the right with Hume struggling defensively but Sweeney fires over at the far post.
WHAT A MISS
Huge miss from Saydee. Absolutely lovely flick from Whyte to get past Turns - the ball is cut back and Jewitt-White is arriving but the front man takes the shot first and fires wide with the goal gaping. Jewitt-White rightly livid.
Red card update
Raggett red card is competition specific - so available for Saturday’s meeting with Charlton still
RED CARD
Raggett is off for a professional foul on Archibald on the edge of the box, as he looks to break clear.
Some lovely football involving Swanson and Hume sees Saydee fouled near the touchline. Yengi puts Swanson’s free-kick well over the top
