Peretz gets lazy Saints defence out of trouble there.

Alternatively we might have started playing earlier in the season.

Stuck in the north of Scotland. Just heard we're winning. Where's FT?

Leo sets up Archer. 3-0 at last.

Saints nearly undone by their complacency. It is not a friendly Saints.

Blackburn taking a few chances to attack now. Should leave room for Saints to counter and put the seal on this.

Matsuki set up by Larin. Terrible miss.

Just requires one lucky break for Blackburn and that was nearly it. Save by Peretz. Saints need to pick up the pace.

Saints getting a bit sloppy.

Less of the showboating please Saints. It's only 2-0.

Wood on for Bree? Injury?

2-0 at half time is good but no reflection at all on Saints superiority. Need to step it up second half and work on that goal difference.

Pompey take the lead and Manning makes it 2-0.

Saints need to go for the kill here. Too early for the exhibition stuff.

Come on Saints. Let's get that second goal. Charles close.

Good cross. Tidy finish.

Like that! 1-0.

With this Blackburn high press I want to see Saints going faster or longer with the ball.

Very high press from Blackburn. Should leave plenty of room in behind if Saints can play it fast,

Blackburn already have two yellows.

Time for Cameron Archer to step up and show us what he's made of.

Hard fought 3 points there but should have easily won that with better finishing.

Saints finishing awfuul.

The Azaz shooting boots seem to be a bit soft.

At last a decent header from a good cross. 2-1.
