Tony Adams has backed Marc Wilson to continue making a Pompey impact.
The Irish defender continued his progress in the Portsmouth starting eleven and produced an outstanding display at Arsenal.
He was almost the architect of a shock Blues opener when his deep cross from the right was headed against the post by Peter Crouch in the 24th minute.
But his all-round performance was another massive plus point in the development of the home-grown product.
Wilson has now started three of Pompey's last four matches at right-back – and his manager believes it's just the start.
Adams said: 'The kid's fantastic and if he makes mistakes he makes them honestly. It can only be beneficial for him, it's a big positive.
'The first choice would be Glen (Johnson), but to get that level of experience for Marc can only be great for his career, it really can.
'I rate Marc highly – I think he's got every chance and I've been absolutely delighted with him.
'He's been given a chance and he's taking it.
I think he can be a real Premier League player.'
