Bournemouth should have doubled their advantage in the 13th minute from the penalty spot but Jake Cope smashed his effort against the crossbar.

Pompey keeper Leon Pitman was called into action four minutes later, making saves from Cope and Scrimshaw.

But the Cherries eventually got their second on 25 minutes when Scrimshaw again netted.

And the forward wrapped up his hat-trick with a spot-kick in the 33rd minute.
