| Match Summary |
Maurice Evans’ side are in the middle of a five-match losing run in the league, but they have far too much class for Pompey. Briggs’ back gets the vital deflection for the opener, then Houghton robs Sandford to set up Phillips. Stanley’s spectacular 30-yarder is mere consolation. |
