Yebda gives Pompey a lift

03 October 2009 17:41
Hassan Yebda lifted some of the gloom surrounding Portsmouth as his first half goal earned them their first Barclays Premier League win of the season with Wolves beaten 1-0 at Molineux. The on-loan Benfica player struck after 20 minutes to end a run of seven successive league defeats for Paul Hart's side. Portsmouth took the lead when Yebda was perfectly positioned to head Kevin-Prince Boateng's cross past Wayne Hennessey and into the corner of the net. It needed a fine save from Hennessey to prevent Aruna Dindane doubling their lead. The rebound broke to Tommy Smith who drilled his shot across the face of goal.
