    Portsmouth 0-1 Arsenal

    Pompey, buoyed by that counter, continue to press. A corner comes to nothing before the ball is recycled and Ryan Williams looks to make something happen.

    The man-bunned Pompey forward wriggles into space, but drags his low shot to the near post.

    Ellis Harrison hares after a ball forward but he doesn't have the legs as Matteo Guendouzi (or was it David Luiz?) is perfectly placed to mop up. With his feet.

    This time Reiss Nelson's delivery - and the second one too when the ball is cleared for another corner - is not as good as it was just before the break.

    And then Pompey counter...

    The camera pans on Arsenal defender Sokratis as the two teams comes out for the second half. That's because he is the difference between the two teams...

    Everyone get all 15? Roberto di Matteo did me over.

  9. FA Cup quizpublished at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2020

    Can you name every manager to win the trophy this century?

    FA Cup

    Many great managers have lifted the famous trophy over the years - but how many of the 15 to have led their team to glory at Wembley (or in Cardiff, of course) since 2000 can you name?

    They include some of the greatest managers in history, some who masterminded famous upsets, and the man who has won more FA Cups than anybody else.

    You've got three minutes to crack it....

    Sokratis scored the goal but had a tough time against Marcus Harness. That's an area Portsmouth will try to exploit. He looks like he has the beating of Sokratis on foot.

    Apart from the goal, Portsmouth have had the better chances. They'll be disappointed with the goal but pleased with how the half went.

    Sure Gareth has got his eye on him...

    Reiss Nelson has been involved in five goals in his last eight starts in all competitions for Arsenal (two goals, three assists).

    I still think Pompey are in the game. The worry is they'll push on and Arsenal will drop off and score goals on the counter.

    It's a great ball in and a fabulous finish. I feel a bit sick for Pompey because they don't deserve this. They've worked so hard and have had the best chances. A sickener just before half-time.

    GOAL - Portsmouth 0-1 Arsenalpublished at 45+4 mins

    Sokratis

    Finish!

    Reiss Nelson's initial corner is headed clear, but only as far as Dani Ceballos, who intelligently plays it quickly back to the England Under-21 winger.

    With a better angle, he whips in a delicious cross which is met by Sokratis with a crisp volley.

    No chance for Alex Bass in the Pompey goal.

    Asrenal want a free-kick on the edge of the box for a handball... no chance, says Mike Dean. But they get a corner...
