Saha gives Toffees win

26 September 2009 14:02
Louis Saha condemned Portsmouth to a seventh successive Barclays Premier League defeat as Everton ran out 1-0 winners at Fratton Park. Saha struck his seventh goal of the season with a clinical finish which gave resurgent Everton a first-half lead they never relinquished. It extended the Toffees' winning run to fourth matches - but the result was harsh on Portsmouth, who failed to take their chances once again. Superior for lengthy spells, they created a host of opportunities with Aaron Mokoena hitting the crossbar and Tal Ben Haim failing from point-blank range. Goalkeeper Tim Howard played a full part in frustrating Pompey, making several fine saves, but David Moyes' side rode their luck at times and cleared two shots off the line.
