| Match Summary | A day no Pompey fan will forget as they win at Old Trafford for the first time in fifty years. David James and his defence repel everything United can throw at them including a goal line clearance from Glen Johnson and an incredible goal saving tackle from Sylvan Distin. With time running out James caught a Nani free kick quickly kicked long to set Nico Kranjcar away he treads a delightful pass to Milan Baros who is brought down by sub keeper Tomasz Kuszczak; ref Atkinson points to the spot and shows the keeper the red card. United then argue about who is going to go in goal with Rio Ferdinand taking the gloves but that does not stop Sulley Muntari calmly slotting home the winner and Pompey are off to Wembley! |
