After three wins, two draws and a couple of defeats from his opening games the Blues return to Fratton Park.

Long into the book as he takes down Dale as he looks to streak clear.

Now Morrell is getting in on the act as Rafferty jinks into the box for the Welshman to fire just over from 20 yards!

It’s three in 26 minutes for Pompey with Tunnicliffe this time the architect as he breaks into the box and crosses for Curtis to apply the six-yard finish.

CCCCCCCUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS

So nearly three after a delicious run from Dale sees him cut in and fire an effort of the woodwork!

It’s two as Jacobs produces a clinical finish after a great one-touch pass from Bishop opens up the space. Pompey purring!

JJJACCCCCCCCOBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSS

Positive run from Dale earns a corner to continue Pompey’s bright start.

Taylor is picked out as he runs through the middle untracked but a fine late block from Tolwer averts the danger.
