Pompey punish Gunners

Portsmouth 1 Arsenal 1

Veteran England defender Sol Campbell made his first appearance in 10 weeks, but picked up a cut just above his eye early in the first half, and then had to be replaced late on following an accidental clash with substitute Svetoslav Todorov, which left the Arsenal man clutching a cloth to a bleeding nose.

Thierry Henry’s sublime finish had given Arsenal a deserved half-time lead, but they were made to pay for missed chances, notably through Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
