Match Summary Ten-man Pompey – Harris hobbled off in the second half – should have had a point, but Reid sees his late penalty saved after a handball. An all-action first half saw Reid’s back-heel and Harris’ header cancel out Rowley’s drive, but Mitten levels from the spot after Yeuell fouled him.
