By Checker. Middlesbrough 5, Portsmouth 4.
A last-minute goal enabled Mid- dlesbrough to fin their frat home victory of the season at the expense of Portsmouth, who were beaten 5-4.
The Borough were the superior team in the first half. Their for- ward work was especially smart, the ball being swung from wing, to wing with fine precision, and they deserved their lead at the end of twenty minutes, though their two goals were of a somewhat freakish. kind.
The first wag acored by Cam-. sell with an overhead kick five yards out, the ball going into the net off a Portsmouth defender. "Five minutes later, during an exciting struggle in the Portsmouth goalmouth, Cameron back-heeled

Middlesbrough, however, also demonstrated that they were ca«. pable of smashing raids: Camsell equalised, and in an ex- jetting Anish Williams scored the
