MATCH stars
JUSSI JAASKELAINEN 6
Had a relatively quiet afternoon after his heroics at Manchester City and was never seriously tested.
NICKY HUNT 6
Limped off at the end and will be out for the next month after breaking a bone in his leg.
TAL BEN HAIM 7
Back in his more familiar role, worked hard for the clean sheet, although a couple of uncharacteristic errors marred his performance.
BRUNO NGOTTY 7
Like his younger partner, the big man takes credit for limiting Pompey to a few opportunities but no clear chances.
HENRIK PEDERSEN 6
He has defended much better and more spiritedly than this, but made important contributions going forward.
JAY JAY OKOCHA 5
As the manager said, the skipper is not yet up to speed; never really got into any rhythm.
GARY SPEED inj
So unlucky to suffer a recurrence of a back problem he thought hed shrugged off last week.
HIDETOSHI NAKATA 8
His touch, awareness and passing ability hit the Reebok like a breath of fresh air.
KEVIN NOLAN 7
His goal would have been a worthy winner in any company; embarrassed by his second half miss but it didnt matter.
KEVIN DAVIES 7
Worked the Pompey defence from first whistle to last; made use of oceans of space to unselfishly tee up Nolans goal.
RICARDO GARDNER 6
His pace was always a threat down the left, where he made his name before his defensive conversion.
Subs: Joey OBrien (6) for Speed 10 mins, Stelios for Okocha 75 mins, El-Hadji Diouf for Hunt 91 mins. Not used: Jared Borgetti, Ian Walker.
