Leighton Baines 4th minute:-

A poor header from Campbell allows Saha to pick the ball up 20 yards out. Distin brings him down from the side, so it’s a free-kick in a very good position, fractionally left of centre. You would think it’s one for a right-footer, but Baines whips it across goal and in off the far post with his left. Simple. That was such a classy finish. David James had taken one step to the right, perhaps expecting a right-footer to clip it over the wall, and that meant he couldn’t get back across to his left.

Peter Crouch 22nd minute:-

A refereeing error brings about the equaliser. Peter Walton gave a corner that wasn’t after Johnson spanked one high and wide - the Portsmouth fans had nothing to say about that - and from it Portsmouth scored. The ball was cleared to Kranjcar, who clipped a good angled ball to the far post. Johnson got above Osman to head it back across the face of goal, and Crouch climbed all over Lescott to plant a very good header into the bottom corner. It looked straightforward - he was only three yards out - but it would have been easy just to thud that straight at Howard. He placed it really well.

Peter Crouch 75th minute:-

It’s often said that Peter Crouch isn’t as good in the air as he should be, but this is a majestic header. A corner from the right was driven to the far post and Crouch came storming in, jumped all over Fellaini and headed into the bottom corner from three yards. There was a thrilling inevitability to that from the moment he started his leap. Everton might feel that Kanu - who had come on a moment earlier for Nugent - impeded Howard, although having not seen a replay I couldn’t be sure.
