Harry hails fantastic Pompey
30 Sep 2007 - 10:40:04
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp thought his players were fantastic as Pompey beat Reading 7-4 in an incredible match at Fratton Park.
Benjani Mwaruwari was the star of the show after grabbing a hat-trick while David James saved Nicky Shorey's spot-kick in the 11-goal thriller.
Redknapp said: "We were fantastic today. We went in 2-1 up at half-time but we should have been four up. We had completely dominated the game and they'd never even had a shot.
"Their keeper made an incredible save to deny Glen Johnson and then they scrambled a goal at the other end. It should have been game over but it was game on.
"Then we gave a sloppy goal away to make it 2-2 and Papa Diop had a perfectly good goal disallowed when he was two yards onside.
"There were a few wrong decisions out there today - their penalty was a throw-in to us as well.
"But we came back at them, kept going forward and we played some great football today. There were some quality performances out there today."
