| Match Summary | Campbell claims we have seen the birth of ‘the new Liverpool’ as Pompey clinch their return to Division Two, seven years after they left it. Dillon fires home from 18 yards, but Cawston has a case for a foul initially. However, he is helpless as Biley’s header sparks a pitch invasion. |
