Roland Nilsson game #34
The ref rules that both City’s home and away kits clash with Pompey and they wear the home team’s hideous orange change strip. On a boggy pitch the under-pressure Graham Rix is saved from the sack, for the moment, by lanky Crouch’s far-post header. Prosinecki pulls the strings.
City wore Portsmouth change shirts as both of their shirts were considered to clash with Portsmouth's home kit
Portsmouth 17th | City 6th (24)
City wore Portsmouth's third shirt due to the referee thinking City's away shirt was too similar to the Portsmouth kit.
