Leicester 1 - 3 Pompey

David Nugent was on target as Pompey came from behind to beat Leicester 3-1 in a pre-season friendly at the Walkers Stadium.
Iain Hume put the Foxes ahead in the 14th minute when a clever ball from Mark de Vries put him through on goal.
Pompey levelled six minutes later though as Nugent, sidefooted in Arnold Mvuemba's cross. Nugent turned provider this time as Lomana LuaLua latched onto his cross to score. LuaLua was then heavily involved in Pompey's third as his good work presented substitute Franck Songo'o with a chance to drill home from the edge of the box with eight minutes to go.
So that’s it for Pre-season this year and we look good, I don’t think we will do as well as we did last year but we won’t be fighting relegation either, a good cup run me thinks. I still think we will get one more in soon and I hope it’s a striker, Play Up Pompey!!!!

Newport (I.O.W.) 0 - 7 Pompey

So pompey had a good night on the Island a 7-0 win and Nugent got two goals to boot so its Leicester City next Play Up Pompey!!!
