Portsmouth FC manager Harry Redknapp was in jubilant mood after his side defeated West Bromwich Albion FC to reach the FA Cup final for the first time since 1939.

"It's fantastic, we're going to a cup final," he said after Nwanko Kanu's 54th-minute goal proved enough at Wembley Stadium. "Full credit to west Brom, they made a great game of it but it's a great day for this club. I'm delighted for our supporters, it's a fantastic day for everyone. This is magnificent."
