Joe Ironside on target as Cambridge heap more misery on faltering Portsmouth
Posted Sunday, September 19, 2021 by PA
Joe Ironside scored his fifth goal of the season to help Cambridge to a 2-1 win over faltering Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
Liam O’Neil was also on target as the U’s condemned Pompey to a third straight league defeat, with Ronan Curtis replying late on for the hosts.
Portsmouth handed a debut to Arsenal loanee Miguel Azeez and dominated possession in the first half without creating any clear-cut chances.
The visitors took the lead against the run of play seven minutes before half-time.
Shilow Tracey combined neatly with George Williams whose sweet cross was headed across goal and into the far corner by Ironside.
Former Pompey youngster Adam May also saw a 30-yard effort saved by Gavin Bazunu.
O’Neil volleyed Cambridge into a 2-0 lead with 21 minutes remaining after Pompey failed to deal with a corner.
Curtis gave Danny Cowley’s men hope in the 76th minute with a fiercely struck shot from an acute angle but Cambridge held firm.
