Team ethos delights manager after Liverpool win
Avram Grant hailed his Portsmouth players after watching them claim a comfortable 2-0 over Liverpool.
The Fratton Park faithful were in full voice as Grant masterminded a win that moves Portsmouth to within a couple of points of safety.
Portsmouth started the day on the back of an impressive display at Chelsea in midweek and although that game ended in defeat, their performance was cause for optimism.
Grants feels his players are now functioning as a unit and is confident his side can spring further surprises in the second half of the season.
"Today we played like a team," he told Sky Sports.
"From game to game we are playing better and today we deserved the win.
"We played on Wednesday against a team in first place at home and we showed ourselves if we can do things well at the bottom of the table we can still surprise the other team.
"And today it went well."
Pompey midfielder Michael Brown, a snarling presence in the centre of the field all afternoon, echoed his manager's sentiments.
He added: "We've been playing well in general. It was a fantastic result for us.
"It's a matter of getting some points and three points is fantastic against a strong Liverpool team with a lot of talent. It's an enjoyable day for us."
