Aston Villa loanee Andre Green helped Portsmouth qualify for the next round of the FA Cup.
Aston Villa loanee Andre Green expressed his delight to supporters on Twitter after he helped Portsmouth knock Norwich City out of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road.
The 20-year-old came on as a second-half substitute and netted a stoppage-time winner to put Pompey into the hat for the next round.
Norwich defender Grant Hanley was shown a straight red after 15 minutes but the home side still managed to trouble their opponents on a number of occasions.
But with the game goalless and heading for a replay, Green’s well-taken strike from a counter-attack in the 95th minute knocked the Championship’s promotion-chasers out of the competition.
After the encounter, the highly-rated winger sent this message to his supporters on Twitter:
This wasn’t the first time that Green had scored a late winner in the FA Cup, nor was it the first time he had scored against Norwich.
During the previous round, the Solihull-born player scored a 90th-minute winner to knock fellow League One side Rochdale out of the competition.
Last season, in what was his first senior goal for Villa, Green netted a superb curling effort from outside the area as then-manager Steve Bruce inflicted a 4-2 defeat on the Canaries.
During his time at Portsmouth, Green has played 14 games in all competitions, scoring four goals and providing one assist for his teammates – he did have to contend with injury problems at the start of the campaign.
