PENALTY SAVE KEEPS REDS LEVEL AT BREAK

A superb penalty save from Pepe Reina has left the scores goalless going into half time at Fratton Park.


The Reds had the better of the opening exchanges but Harry Redknapp's side began to dominate as the half wore on.

They were awarded a penalty on the half-hour mark after Alvaro Arbeloa was adjudged to have pulled Kanu's shirt.

However, the Nigerian was unable to find a way past Liverpool's Spanish stopper.
