The score may suggest the game was a struggle for Chelsea. In fact Chelsea hit the woodwork four times, Pompeys 'keeper made some really good saves and Pompeys central defence blocked four efforts that otherwise could have been goals.
Plus Chelsea had a goal disallowed late on in the 2nd half.
Man of the Match for me was Aziz-Deen Conteh, normally a midfielder, he was drafted in to play alongside Danny Mills-Pappoe due to an injury to Jeff Bruma.
Aziz was absolutely magnificent especially making two wonderful last ditch tackles in each half which could have seen Pompey score.
Gokhan Tore had a good game, but he wasn't as effective as he was against Forest in the previous round. Instead of going outside, he was always drawn inside. One run and cross he did manage open up Portsmouth, but there was no-one in the middle to capitalise.
The boys do not have to much time to rest. They are away to Palace on Saturday morning, kick-off 11am.
You could expect wholesale changes.

Been away doing my duty visiting mum for a few days so I missed this...
Very good updates - and of course a good result (hope we get the scousers!).
Sounds like we were quite unlucky hitting the woodwork so often....and where was the forward to knock those crosses in?!
"It is born out of hypocrisy and fundamental insecurity. There have been two kids on the block for the past 12 years. Suddenly, there is a third and that one is threatening to be more successful than the others and they don’t like it." P Kenyon.

The Academy drew at Palace yesterday, two days after the win over Portsmouth.
Anton Rodgers, son of Brendan, equalised with a 30yard scorcher and Chelsea hit the post THREE times.

Last Saturday The Academy drew with Arsenal at Cobham 0-0. Unlucky for Josh McEachran as he had TWO goals disallowed and Gokhan Tore hit the bar.
Tonight at Anfield, Watford beat Liverpool 1-0 in their FA Youth Cup tie.
