Match Summary The Turf Moor jinx returns, as a poor first-half display costs dear. Early on Pompey appeal in vain for offside, but Hays is free to cross for Morris, then as the visitors step up the pace, Potts makes it two from a corner after hitting the bar. Barlow pulled one back from Harris’s cross.
