| UEFA: Wolfsburg head Group E |
Thursday 4 December, 2008 |

Milan have dropped to second in UEFA Cup Group E as a David James error helped Wolfsburg secure a thrilling 3-2 victory over Portsmouth.
The Rossoneri are guaranteed to progress to the last 32 after rescuing a 2-2 draw with Portsmouth last week.
But Italian-inspired German outfit Wolfsburg have taken control in Group E after a dramatic win over Pompey in a five-goal thriller.
The Bundesliga side led through Edin Dzeko in just the third minute but Jermain Defoe levelled eight minutes later.
Portsmouth led through Arnold Mvuemba, but Christian Gentner equalised.
An error from Portsmouth goalkeeper David James [pictured] proved costly as Zvjezdan Misimovic was left with an open goal and he clinched the three points.
The result ensures that Portsmouth are out of the UEFA Cup after Portuguese side Braga saw off hapless Heerenveen 2-1.
Milan have the chance to win the group when they host Wolfsburg on December 17.
