IslandStats.com
Goals from Famara Diédhiou and a fantastic late hit from Chris Martin helped Nahki Wells and his Bristol City teammates advance into the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round.
Diédhiou picked out the bottom corner to put the Robins deservedly ahead before Callum Johnson rolled the ball past Dan Bentley to put Portsmouth back in the tie moments before half-time.
Portsmouth threatened much more in the second half but couldn’t capitalize before Martin picked out the top corner with a stunning finish inside the 83rd minute.
Wells who started the match on the bench was called into action in the 65th minute to replace Hakeeb Adelakun.
Bentley’s strong-arm then kept out substitute Jordy Hiwula-Mayifuila deep in stoppage time as Bristol City held on to progress in the cup and start 2021 with a win.
