City doubled the lead in the 20th minute when Dunne latched on to a block from a Elano corner to slot home from three yards out. The hosts stepped up the pressure in the second half and were rewarded in the 57th minute when Jo latched on to a long ball from Ireland before passing the ball for Robinho who made no mistake from close range.

Wright-Phillips continued his impressive return to form since his move back to City by scoring the fourth goal of the match in the 68th minute to put the result beyond Portsmouth's reach. Evans added a fifth 10 minutes later with Robinho once again the architect while Fernandes completed the proceedings by slotting home a sixth goal for City after James had spilled the ball under pressure from Wright-Phillips.
