City march on as Pompey look to the future
Emmanuel Adebayor scored his third goal in as many Premier League games to see off Portsmouth 1-0 as the man who helped bring Manchester City their millions watched from the stands at Fratton Park.[LNB]Sulaiman Al Fahim, who fronted the consortium that bought City a year ago, was sat in the crowd four days after it was announced an agreement had been made for him to buy Portsmouth from Alexandre Gaydamak.[LNB]City are certainly benefiting from their change of ownership - they only won two away games last season and have matched that total already in their 100% start to the season.[LNB]Mark Hughes' men are now in the top four - and Pompey fans will hope Al Fahim brings them a similar change of fortune after losing their first four league games of the campaign.[LNB]Adebayor's breakthrough, on the half-hour mark, was a goal of simplicity. Gareth Barry's inswinging corner from the right found the former Arsenal striker, who escaped the attention of Aaron Mokoena and planted his header home from close range.[LNB]Both sides had the ball in the net afterwards only to see their efforts ruled out, while chances to add to the 1-0 scoreline also came either way but none were taken to leave City with all three points.
