Match Summary Pompey must equal Hammers’ result, but score two more in doing so. Inspired Wilmot ensures heartbreak. Daws’ long loop is a stunner, but Daniel levels. Hammers are one up. Whits scores then Wilmot somehow stops Kristensen. Some think Cambridge have levelled at Upton Park. They haven’t and the dreaded play offs beckon.
