Pompey academy eased to an impressive four-goal victory against their Chelsea counterparts at the Wellington Sports ground.
Gautier Mahoto opened the scoring in the first half, before second-half strikes from Ryan Gazet du Chattelier, Pablo Navas Alors and Paras Cowan-Hall completed the ruot.
The margin of victory could have been even greater than the hosts completely dominated their London position.
Pompey gave an early statement of their intent when Ryan Woodford's header was cleared off the line.
Marton Pack was next to go close but he could not quite guide his header on target and the ball flew into the side netting.
Navas Alors then brought a fine save from the Chelsea keeper after embarking on a hazy run towards goal.
Pompey finally broke the deadlock on 40 minutes after capitalising on a poor defense clearance.
James Hurst picked up the ball and found Nadir Ciftci with an incisive pass. He then squared it for Mahoto to tap home.
Half time: Pompey 1 Chelsea 0
The lead was doubled just after the interval When du Chattelier tucked away the lose ball after Tom Kilbey's shot had been saved.
Then, on the hour, Navas Alors ran half the length of the pitch, bursting through a static Chelsea defense before finding the net.
Pompey's scoring was completed 10 minutes from the end. Cowan-Hall was given two bites of cherry, finishing with aplomb after his first effort was blocked.
