Portsmouth nonetheless chalked up their eighth successive league game without defeat - and City deserved their point too.
Sven-Goran Eriksson's men made a solid recovery from their last away trip in the league - when they shipped six goals at Chelsea - and the passing and movement of Brazilian pair Elano and Gelson, on his league debut, was a joy to watch. Read more
