Match Summary Arsenal heavily water the pitch to slow down Pompey. Early on recalled Parker’s header hit the post, then at the death Clarke's effort is ruled out for handball. In between, Lishman and Roper had profited from some slack defending. Harris is off playing for Football League in Belfast.
