Pompey vendte 0-1 til en 2-1 sejr efter en time med en mand i overtal, det er nok eneste positive om den kamp.

Officiel kamprapport

Danny Cowley, Portsmouth manager:

“We had a good start to the game and created a great chance that we couldn’t take, then conceded such a sloppy goal.

“That can knock you, but credit to the boys because we showed character and a positive response to get the equaliser.

«We’re pleased to win, even if we could have made it a lot easier for ourselves. We kept going and kept believing, though.»

“Aiden’s scored again and the sending off soon followed. We knew what we wanted to do tactically, but some of our decision making was erratic.

“As a consequence, we couldn’t always find the rhythm and flow we were looking for in the second half.

“Steve Cotterill’s a very experience and pragmatic manager and with 10 men, they’re still a hard team to play against.

“But we need to control our emotions a bit better and there were a few players who gave the ball away too easily.

“We’re pleased to win, even if we could have made it a lot easier for ourselves. We kept going and kept believing, though.”
