Rover Flow: Jake Jervis believes his equaliser against Tranmere was the perfect riposte to the home fan’s stick

Dec 15 2012 by Nick Hilton, Liverpool Echo

JAKE JERVIS reckoned his spectacular equaliser was the perfect answer to the Tranmere fans who have him stick during Portsmouth’s 2-2 draw at Prenton Park last weekend.

The young Birmingham City striker joined Pompey on loan soon after completing a month-long temporary assignment with Rovers and came back to sting his former team-mates.

Jervis said: “I hit the ball instinctively and it turned out to be quite a good goal. I was just delighted to help the team as we deserved a result.

“It meant quite a lot to me as I was getting a bit of stick on the sidelines, which might explain my eager celebration!”

Jervis added: “We were satisfied to come to Tranmere and take a point.”
