Adebayor back on goals trail as Pompey hit rock bottom

EMMANUEL Adebayor acknowledged the heavens in remembrance after scoring for the first time since the gun attack in Angola that left him fearing for his life.

Three members of the Togo backroom staff were killed in the terrorist atrocity that resulted in Adebayor and his team-mates pulling out of the African Nations Cup.

There was no joyous celebration as Adebayor rattled his 40th-minute effort past David James. But as City returned for the second half, the former Arsenal star looked quietly but pointedly to the sky in honour of his fallen colleagues.
