Portsmouth vs Arsenal 2020 (Pompey-Arsenal FA Cup VIDEO BELOW)
Final score and result: Portsmouth vs Arsenal 0-2 (Sokratis, Nketiah)
Fratton Park, Portsmouth- 2 March, 2020
Goals from Sokratis and Nketiah help Arsenal down Pompey 2-0 in this FA Cup clash. Also a bizarre yellow card given to Matteo Guendouzi by Mike Dean.
Liverpool’s youngsters produced a commanding performance to see off League One outfit Shrewsbury and book a mouthwatering fifth round clash with Chelsea. With every senior team player rested and Jurgen Klopp on holiday, U23 manager Neil Critchley was given the reigns, and he fielded a side with an average age of just 19 years and 102 days- the youngest in the club’s history (beating the record that was set against Villa in the Carabao Cup back in December). While the Shrews had held a more accomplished LFC side featuring several seniors to a 2-2 draw in the first leg, they weren’t able to cope with the energy of the youngsters at Anfield and eventually slumped to a 1-0 defeat.
Critchley gave debuts to Adam Cain, Lewis Millar and Jake Cain, and the rest of the side had only 36 senior appearances between them to their name. Curtis Jones was handed the armband, making him the youngest ever captain in the club’s history, beating Alex Raisbeck’s 120 year old record set in 1900.
