| Match Summary | Sandwiched between the Arsenal cup games this is often considered as the forgotten game except for the few that made the long trip north. Pompey stun highflying Hull as Pointer spearheads a late counter attack, draws Terry Neill and plays a perfect pass for Hiron to score and silence the crowd. The Tigers force 17 corners, but prove toothless as Milkins is in inspired form. |
