Leeds 3 v 3 Pompey

Pompey's first game back in the Championship was away at Leeds

And we were there (with Will) Play Up Pompey.  What a first game.

Leeds went 1v0 up, but Pompey came back.

Callum Lang scored a 92nd minute penalty.  Amazing....

Eventually it was 3v3.  Great opener.

Let's hope we can go onwards and upwards from here.
