| Match Summary | Pompey came from behind with two late goals as a blizzard of snow blew across Highbury. Town began well and had several opportunities before Barclay put them in front mid way through the first half. Pompey took charge after the interval and had many chances before Barlow scored with a wonderful effort. Pompey piled on the pressure and McAlinden had two shots turned round for corners but They would not be denied and with Chimes resounding around the ground Anderson hammered a cross shot passed Hesford. Pompey also make history as both sides wear numbers on their backs for the first time! |
