Match Summary The first game after the sacking of Tony Adams and the first win since November. Pompey always look the most adventurous side but had to wait until the final quarter of the game for their full backs, Johnson and Hreidarsson, to score the two goals. David James made a record-breaking 536th Premier League appearance. Caretaker boss Paul Hart "I am really pleased for the club and the players, who worked their socks off and kept to the game plan. They were very disciplined"
