Pompey come back to avoid loss

FT Portsmouth 3 Sheffield United 1

Portsmouth staged a second-half comeback in their Barclays Premiership clash with Sheffield United to maintain their hopes of challenging for Champions League qualification.

Rob Hulse had give the visitors an early lead at Fratton Park but the hosts turned the game at the start of the second half, equalising before Sol Campbell established the lead.

Noe Pamarot extended the advantage with his second in two games after netting last week against Arsenal.

Benjani tried his best to get himself on the scoresheet but went wide with his best effort.

The visitors brought on Christian Nade to chase the game and surprisingly took off Hulse and Michael Tonge, but the substitute could not drag his side back into the game.
