But to put the victory in context, Portsmouth fielded a very inexperience side.
In fact, no Pompey player featuring at Motspur Park had any Premiership experience at all.
Fulham's starting line up wasn't exactly star-studded either: Crossley; Lawless, Milsom, Rehman, Watkins; Collins, McDermott (Kareem 70), Timlin, Buari (Hall 85), Doherty; Ehui (Sankoh 90+2)
Portsmouth's first team visit Craven Cottage on the 3rd April, in a game that's being labelled as a "six-pointer" and Fulham will hope the first team follow the stiffs' example.
