    • - Thanks for joining us today.... stay right there for Liverpool v West Brom, coming right up!
    • 90'+2 And there goes the final whistle! All over and Pompey record a win for the first time under Tony Adams!
    • 90'+1 GOAL! DEFOE STEALS ALL THREE POINTS AT THE DEATH FOR POMPEY!
    • 90' PENALTY TO POMPEY! Terribly timed challenge by Diouf on Johnson right in the corner of the box!
    • 87' Another brilliant run from Defoe! But he takes on touch too many in the box, allowing Fulop to come off his line and claim the ball at the striker's feet!
    • 85' Diarra and Richardson clash in the centre circle... handbags at 10 paces really, but the ref sees fit to book the former.
    • 82' Collins goes into the book...
    • 80' Time for a Sunderland change... Healy and Leadbitter on for Reid and Malbranque.
    • 79' Diouf runs onto a dinked ball through... but the flag is up for offside... he doesn't like that one!
    • 78' This one can go either way... Sunderland are looking a little shaky in possession at the moment... can Pompey capitalise?
    • 75' And another Pompey change... Utaka on for Kranjcar.
    • 69' Pompey make a change now... Kanu on for Crouch.
    • 62' GOAL! Cisse heads home! NO! DISALLOWED! The Frenchman's just offside as the cross comes over and the score remains 1-1!
    • 56' What a difference this second half! Pompey look like a different side to the one that was overrun during the first!
    • 53' Look at this! What a run from Defoe, past one, two and then three Sunderland defenders... but his shot swerves just wide of the target!
    • 51' GOAL! POMPEY ARE BACK IN IT! And what a hit it is from Belhadj! The on-loan man picks it up in midfield before advancing and unleashing a swerving shot that Fulop can't get to! It's against the run of play, but the visitors won't care!
    • 46' One change to tell you about at the break... El Hadji Diouf has come on, replacing Murphy.
    • 46' Back underway at the Stadium of Light!
    • 45'+1 There goes the half-time whistle... and Sunderland head in at the break a goal to the good.
    • 42' Dean Whitehead now crumples to the floor following a strong challenge with Kranjcar... he'll be fine though... all he needs is a splash of the magic sponge.
    • 39' Defoe's got a problem here... the Pompey trainer's on, giving him some treatment, but it doesn't look good for the visitors.
    • 38' Cisse pulls down the ball at the far post... chance here! No! The flag's up for offside...
    • 35' Chance for Portsmouth! A bit of a goalmouth scramble ends with the ball falling for Sol Campbell.... he attempts an overhead kick from close range! But it lacks power and Fulop is able to make the save!
    • 33' Collins is in trouble here... he gets a stern talking to from the referee, but no card is produced.
    • 28' Cisse's through on goal here, having been played in by Reid! One on one with James... great save from the England man! Corner to Sunderland...
    • 25' Defoe can't quite find a touch on a Belhadj cross as Pompey make a rare sortie forward.
    • 23' Sunderland are on top at the moment... the goal did much to settle them down.
    • 17' Cisse! Great header from the Frenchman! But James is equal to his effort, tipping the ball over the bar for a corner!
    • 15' Richardson hits the post with a super effort from 25 yards! The winger strikes it perfectly and it looks destined for the bottom corner... until it smacks against the base of the upright!
    • 8' Kranjcar takes a swipe at the ball with a volley that slices wide of the mark!
    • 5' That's really not what new Portsmouth boss Tony Adams wanted... terrible start for the visitors.
    • 4' GOAL! Cisse opens the scoring early on! He holds off the challenge of Sol Campbell to run onto a through ball and slot low past David James! 1-0 Sunderland!
    • 1' Here we go! Underway in Sunderland!
