John Mousinho’s took the lead on two occasions at Elland Road as a goal from summer signing Elias Sorensen and Callum Lang gave them some hope of pulling off a shock win in Yorkshire.

The hosts named a number of players linked with moves away from Elland Road in their starting lineup with goalscorer Gnonto believed to be attracting attention from clubs in the Premier League and Serie A. Georginio Rutter is also believed to have admirers from elsewhere – although the Whites will be keen to retain the services of both forwards after they lost winger Crysencio Summerville to West Ham United last week. Pompey boss Mousinho admitted he would not hesitate to make a move for some of Leeds’ ‘multi-million pound players’ if he was a manager in English football’s top flight.

Speaking after the game, Mousinho said: “We were probably slightly low on quality today, but I think that was the nature of the nature of the game. Leeds are an excellent side with some really good athletes in there. There are some multi-million pound players there that may go over the next three weeks. If I’m a Premier League manager, I am definitely snapping up a few of them after today.”
