Match Summary Pompey go ‘nap’ but the result is always in the balance until Winter hooks into his own net under pressure from Clarke. Harris’ cross-shot is the perfect start, but Bentley’s persistence keeps Chelsea in it, his second from a narrow angle. Barlow netted from the spot after Harris was fouled.
