Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Pompey

45 minutes up - 6 minutes added on.

 

Half time whistle. 1-2 to Pompey. Good first half for us, against a very good Middlesbrough side. We are missing Connor Shaughnessy in defence, hope he recovers from his illness soon!

2-2 now. Tommy Conway scores from the spot. 90 minutes.

 

90 minutes up - 7 minutes added on.

 

Final whistle. 2-2 draw. Good point for us, against one of the favourites for promotion, especially seeing as we were without three of our four central defenders due to injury! Some brilliant saves from Will Norris. Good to see Kusini Yengi back from injury.

Still unbeaten after three league matches, with us unlucky not to beat both Leeds and Middlesbrough.
