Peter Crouch hit his own post in a lively first period but easily nodded in the opener after 48 minutes.

Jermain Defoe soon slotted in Pompey’s second but Blackburn hit back through substitute Matt Derbyshire’s looped header and Tugay’s fizzing 20-yarder.

Yet Davis chipped in late on to leave Paul Ince’s side winless in nine games.

That record, which comes in all competitions, means Blackburn are now on their worst run in a decade and leaves the club sitting 19th in the table.
