The Sun:Teddy Sheringham hit a glorious hat-trick to put Pompey in dreamland at Fratton Park last night. His second half treble swept Harry Redknapp's side to the top of the Premiership for the first time in their history.

The Daily Star: Harry Redknapp took his side to the top of the Premiership last night-thanks to his two old stagers. The Pompey boss could be forgiven a smug smile as his old club West Ham lurch into another crisis whilst his premiership new boys are off to a flyer.

Daily Telegraph: Three matches in and Portsmouth top of the Premiership. Not many experts would have predicted such an outcome so early in the season, but Portsmouth, even by the margin of one goal, deserve their lofty status if only for the way they crushed Bolton at Fratton Park.

Daily Mail: Portsmouth and Bolton spent the summer being force fed a script entitled 'Down Amongst the Dead Men'. But Pompey are busy rewriting the story and the Premiership newcomers now stand proudly atop the big boys' division. Another night of Fratton Park passion highlighted by an opener from Steve Stone and Teddy Sheringham's hat trick.

Daily Express:Teddy Sheringham put Portsmouth in dreamland with a rapid fire hat trick that left them sitting proudly on top of the table last night. Harry Redknapp's team are far from the best side in the Premiership but right now they are as refreshing as any sea breeze this baking summer. Pompey have their faults but they have boundless energy zest and a simple willingness to be bested.

The Mirror: Teddy Sheringham struck a second half hat trick to send Portsmouth to the top of the Premiership last night.

The Independent: Portsmouth's great start to the season continued at Fratton Park as Teddy Sheringham netted a second half hat trick to condemn Bolton to their second defeat of the campaign.

The Guardian: The Redknapp formula is still working. Take a few experienced heads, a handful of cast offs and add the odd offshore investment and you have a team the way Harry likes it. When it also inspires Teddy Sheringham to the sort of form he displayed last night, it can be only for the good of the Premiership which Portsmouth now head.
