Match Summary Liverpool’s procession to the title is now 27 without defeat, but Pompey (unbeaten in ten) make them fight all the way. Barnes’ attempted cross flicks off Gilbert and flies in for the first, that after Quinn had scorned a glorious early chance. He then has one ruled out, but Barnes’ classy shot seals it
