| Match Summary |
Pompey show their title was no fluke as Geordies are outclassed. Phillips and Clarke finish coolly, sandwiching a spicy clash between Chilean Robledo and Phillips. Harris’ close-range goal seems to have settled it, but Robledo’s opportunism from Milburn’s shot makes a lively finish. |
