00:30Wow, an extraordinary moment here at Fratton Park. I thought for a moment the referee hadn't given it.
00:47An amazing moment there, baffling Statham and the onrushing goalkeeper and finding the back of the net.
00:57Well he's back from suspension and he's given Portsmouth at last in their season back in the First Division something to cheer.
01:09An astonishing goal, just for a moment it looked as though it was the most outrageous own goal. I thought Statham may have got a touch on it but the slow motion replay clearly showed a great strike by Vince Hillaire.
01:22So Swain with Portsmouth's throw, quite a good long one into the box there.
01:30Swain again, touched on nicely there for Dillon and Kevin Moore getting it away again.
01:38Swain once more, Dillon once more and Swain again, good break there by the full back, a reel up and under here, Baird looking to get a touch to it.
01:49And the ball goes in from Whitehead.
01:55And Portsmouth are back in at 2-2.
02:06Well just when it looked as though Southampton could take a good grip on this game, this long long cross came in, Baird gets a good header in here.
02:19And it's Whitehead's stab shot that goes beyond Flowers into the corner and we're at 2-2.
02:28And it's a high uppercut by Statham.
02:34So Whitehead with the throw, 2-3.
02:42OK so it comes here for Hillaire, over on the left hand side of the goalie, able to bring the ball under control as he would like.
02:51Knocks it in to Horne, Horne goes for the shot, shoots it!
02:56And it's scored for Portsmouth, over on the left hand side of the goal.
03:20Get it Horne!
03:50Horne is looking for a seven game point lead off the mark for Ponte Vecchia.
04:07Lucky, but it wasn't just local pride at stake, the situation at the bottom looked bleak as the Blues stared relegation in the face.
04:14The message loud and clear, win at all costs.
04:20So what a time for Yakubu to rediscover his goal scoring touch once again.
04:24Not the greatest strike you'll ever see, but oh what a sweet one.
04:30Bedlam ensued, and why not? Pompey fans had waited many a long year for this moment, and they weren't about to waste it.
04:43And we're assuming no one will be arguing with a few replays of this one.
04:50Go on Horne!
04:51Go on Horne!
04:54Go on!
04:55Go on Horne!
04:57Go on!
04:58Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
05:28We're in the corner, and back comes Cameron Alba, Pompey with the rest challenge, and it's a penalty!
05:36An instant response from Pompey!
05:43Lundeklamu came across, he mistimed it really, and he well, he, no question, he made contact with Cameron.
05:52Pompey's a leading scorer, with a chance here to break his team level.
06:00And he has!
06:02Yeah, he guessed wrongly!
06:06Real composure there from Yakubu, and that's what it means when you score in the South Coast Dome.
06:14Yakubu for Pompey! Roof of the desk!
06:19Curve, oh, what a delivery! And what a header!
06:24And Portsmouth's dreams are coming true.
06:28And off goes Loire-Loire, and the goalkeeper's in awkward territory again.
06:32Oh, and he missed his chance to clear, and that is real opportunism!
06:37N'aemi is living a nightmare.
06:41Loire-Loire! It's four! And it's unbelievable!
06:49In depth, into the path of Jeddah.
06:53It'll come for Ataka, and now for Ousouabe!
06:56And Portsmouth lead!
07:00The substitute scores his first ever goal for Portsmouth.
07:06Well, what can you say? You know, this is about taking your chances.
07:10When you do get a chance, you're sweeped across, but how nonchalant does he just do it?
07:14He doesn't go for a strike, he goes for placement.
07:17And when it comes across to him, he just shifts it left on his right foot.
07:21And a nice little bend-in-place shot past Kelvin Davis.
07:31And Ousouabe's back on the ball.
07:33Hickey on to his left, Dindane to his right.
07:36Bellhack is in the break too, he's played in Dindane,
07:39there's a great chance for Aruna Dindane,
07:41Davis got his feet tripped but couldn't keep it out,
07:43and Aruna Dindane puts Portsmouth back in front.
07:46South Coast derby springs to life,
07:49with three goals in less than eight minutes.
07:55Chris Perry's just unlucky, he's trying to block him with his foot,
07:58but Dindane, once he gets his eyes one-on-one with Davis,
08:01there's only one thing on his mind, he's going to try and lift it over him.
08:05Davis very unlucky.
08:08Towards Jairi, put away by O'Hara,
08:12and Dindane will chase this down, Perry's got to win it, and does.
08:16O'Hara though with a beautifully guarded ball into the path of Bellhach,
08:20and a chance for Portsmouth to seal it here.
08:22Bellhach, 3-1!
08:28Smiles on Portsmouth faces, there haven't been too many of those in the last few weeks.
08:35But nothing, nothing could have given this club, this team a greater tonic
08:40than victory at Southampton.
08:43He's having a look up, he didn't look the most confident,
08:46he's having looks to see if he can play it,
08:48but what it's done is it's shifted the goalkeeper off his line,
08:51just there, and there you go, look, it's opened the corner up for him to roll it in.
09:00O'Hara again coming out with the ball,
09:02it's another Portsmouth counter-attack,
09:04and it's Bellhach on the move again,
09:06and it's four against three here momentarily,
09:08Bellhach with the cross, Owusu-Obe,
09:11O'Hara, four for Portsmouth!
09:14Devastating break!
09:18Jamie O'Hara!
09:22They can hardly believe it, it has been an unbelievable week for Portsmouth
09:26one way or another, but it has just gone into the realms of fantasy
09:30in their wildest dreams, they couldn't have hoped to score four here today.
09:37Norris to take this corner,
09:40he's thoroughly got his head on it, it's in!
09:46It's 1-1!
09:50Joel Ward got the goal, and Portsmouth are level!
09:56It's a great header back across the goal,
09:58and Ward's there, climbs above everybody else,
10:01and all of a sudden now,
10:03people either way, I mean look at this,
10:05it's a decent header across, but he's there on the move,
10:08no-one picking him up,
10:10and it's a brave header.
10:11It's Di Prado, the number 10 on the post,
10:13look who wants it more here, Di Prado, or Ward?
10:17There's your answer.
10:18It's always a problem when a centre-forward comes back,
10:20he switches off,
10:22he's gone over his head,
10:24and he's been punished.
10:28It's 1-1!
10:34It's 1-1!
10:39Nice ball by Chris Maguire,
10:40Etuhu's round the back here,
10:43Richardson in front of him,
10:45Kelvin Etuhu for Portsmouth,
10:48Maguire goes, a goal!
10:50Oh, what a goal by Chris Maguire!
10:54You will not see a better strike of a championship this season!
11:01Etuhu gave him the ball,
11:06he only had one thing on his mind,
11:08and it was just too fierce for Kelvin Davis on his near post.
11:13What confidence, what ability,
11:15and what a strike from Chris Maguire!
11:19Shrill whistles all the way around the ground.
11:24Long ball into the edge of the box,
11:27Resha wins his header,
11:28shot on goal!
11:29Oh, what a goal!
11:31David Norris has equalised for Portsmouth at injury time!
11:35And the northern end of St Mary's explodes in blue colour,
11:40it's an Easter cracker from David Norris,
11:43and they've pulled it out of the fire here at Portsmouth.
11:46And the bench are on the pitch,
11:49and the supporters have exploded with delight,
11:52what a strike by David Norris!
11:54He used to be a waiter, did David Norris,
11:57well he's served up the perfect cocktail here,
12:00what a volley with the left foot,
12:02Kelvin Davis stranded,
12:04it was dropping down with snow on it,
12:06set himself,
12:07wrapped it with his left foot,
12:09and a despairing Kelvin Davis couldn't keep it out.
12:22.
