Nugent finds target as Pompey march on

Burnley 0 Portsmouth 1

Nugent’s 69th minute strike past Burnley keeper Gabor Kiraly was only his second goal since arriving at Fratton Park and drew furious protests from the home side, who claimed the striker had handled Pedro Mendes’ cross before firing home.

That will not matter to Nugent, whose boss Harry Redknapp had indicated he would be willing to offload the striker for the right offer a matter of weeks after he had joined the club from Preston.
