Shola Ameobi scored the game’s only goal meaning the Newcastle United striker has now scored as many goals in the last week than he managed in the whole of last season.
Harry Redknapp has been looking to boost his squad ahead of Portsmouth’s first assault on European opponents, and has finally sealed a deal to give his side more firepower.
Israeli teenager Ben Sahar has joined the Fratton Park outfit on a six-month loan deal from Stamford Bridge. Having previously been on loan at teams like Qpr and Sheffield Wednesday, the 18-year-old will have to step up to compete in the Premiership and the UEFA Cup.
He now joins players like Jermaine Defoe, David Nugent and Kanu in jostling for the striking berths on the South Coast:
I’m ready for the challenge of being part of such a big club, like Portsmouth.
I want to be part of it and to show that I deserve to be here.
Although only having Championship and Carling Cup experience in England, Sahar has been a fully-fledged international since 17, and recently played against England.
