Mon. April 21, 2008 02:43 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -
(SomaliNet) In a match beleaguered with chances to move within two points of the south coast club as they both chase an Intertoto Cup spot, Manchester City beat Portsmouth 3-1.
Man City’s Darius Vassell and Martin Petrov scored in quick succession early in the first half to give the home side a two-goal cushion, but John Utaka pulled one back 10 minutes later.
Portsmouth were reduced to 10 men before half-time after a professional foul by Hermann Hreidarsson and with a quarter-of-an-hour to play Benjani, facing his former club, smashed home from 20 yards.
The points see City go above Blackburn in the Premier League table as they chase down Portsmouth in seventh place and Aston Villa, occupying the Intertoto Cup place, in sixth.-Eurosport
