Premiership '07/08 : Aston Villa (a) 3-1

Pompey on their way to their first win at Villa Park since January 1970, here celebrating following a ninth minute own goal from Craig Gardner.

Villa 'keeper Scott Carson is beaten all-ends-up by Sulley Muntari's stunning 25-yard drive after 40 mins. 2-0 to Pompey.

And as if that's not enough, Muntari repeats the feat after 61 mins with possibly an even better goal from a similar range.

Sulley Muntari saluting the crowd at 3-0.
