Posted on: Sat 27 Feb 2010

BURNLEY 1 PORTSMOUTH 2

Full Time

90 Rocha sent off for foul on Cork

Att 19,714

75 GOAL! 1-2 Carlisle again, this time tripping Utaka in the box after receiving an unnecessary throw in inside his own box and getting pickpocketed by two players. This time Yebda scores from the spot

67 A quarter of the game to go and Danny Fox fires a shot from distance just wide of the post

That has lifted the home side and suddenly Burnley are on the offensive

63 Double substitution for the Clarets. Bikey and Elliott make way for Cork and Eagles

60 Portsmouth's turn for a let off. Paterson does brilliantly down the right and his cross is perfect for Fletcher, but the free header is over the bar from eight yards

55 Penalty! Carlisle trips Piquionne in the box, but Jensen brilliantly saves O'Hara's spot kick!

52 Paterson beats the offside tap and his low cross is again parried by James to a Portsmouth player

40 Another massive let off for Burnley. O'Hara picks his spot and crashes a shot off the underside of the crossbar. Webber has the goal at his mercy from the rebound, but Fox makes a block form nowhere to save the day.

33 The ball clears the Cricket Field Stand for the first time in living memory as Belhadj volleys into the stratosphere!

31 GOAL! 1-1 Martin Paterson follows up his first goal in the Premier League with a second, brilliantly anticipating Fletcher's flick from Jensen's punt and lobbing a hopelessly stranded James

29 Blake frees Fletcher, but the Clarets striker blazes his shot high and wide

25 GOAL! 0-1 Disaster for Burnley as they give the visitors far too much time. Webber's shot from the right is off target, but Piquionne doesn't give it up and slides in beyond the far post to slot home.

20 Portsmouth go ballistic as Fletcher makes two tough, but wholly fair challenges on Hreidarsson and Rocha. That's got the crowd going!

18 Seconds later, Paterson carves Portsmouth open down the left and his cross is parried by James. It's a tap-in for someone, but agonizingly there's no Clarets shirt in sight.

17 First half chance for the Clarets, as Fletcher flicks on and Paterson fires weakly at David James.

15 A short corner catchers Burnley cold, but when Webber slots home at the near post, the flag thankfully comes to Burnley's rescue and the goal is wiped off

10 Cort mistake leads to first chance for Pompey, but as his sliding tackle falls to Webber, the striker fires across goal and well wide

5 Bright start by both sides. Both looking to get forward at every opportunity

Game on at Turf Moor
