Benji begins to blossom at Pompey

HARRY REDKNAPP has tipped Benjani Mwaruwari to become a Fratton Park cult hero after he raced to the top of the Premier League scoring charts at the expense of struggling Wigan.

The Zimbabwean forward struck his fourth goal in three games with just nine minutes remaining at the JJB Stadium to set Pompey on their way to their fourth successive victory.

Glen Johnson added a late second for the visitors and Redknapp hailed his team’s determination, paying particular attention to Benjani who had struggled on his initial introduction to Premier League football.
