Having a look at that goal again, it looks like Andre Dozzell got the final touch, so another own goal for Arsenal. They’ve had a few of those this season…

GOAL! Portsmouth 1-1 Arsenal (Christian Norgaard, 8 mins)
Well that lead didn’t last long! Eze curls the corner in, it’s flicked on by Martinelli, then Gabriel and Christian Norgaard bundles it in at the back post. Le Roux was trying to defend and may have got the final touch but the result is the same.
Scrappy but the Gunners won’t care. Arsenal’s major threat and Pompey’s weakness – set-pieces – proves pivotal.

Portsmouth 0-0 Arsenal, 2 mins
Cracking atmosphere at Fratton Park as you’d expect. The Pompey fans are well up for this.
They’ll want to disspell the memories of that 5-0 humiliation against Bristol City on New Year’s Day. They’ve started ok here – nice long ball out to Devlin on the right flank and he brings it down well.
A cross is eventually put into the box, although Kepa claims it
