| Match Summary |
Poor Mariners are all at sea once Froggatt’s header off the underside is adjudged to have gone in. Clarke profited as Reid missed his kick then Butler hurt his wrist as Briggs hit him at full speed, but he still managed to save. That was Town’s last chance as Pompey made class tell. |
