Portsmouth manager John Mousinho:

“I thought we were excellent from start to finish and were professional in the first half.

“That meant we earned the right to play some of the football we did after the break – it was a pleasure to watch.

“My only criticism would be that we didn’t put the game to bed even further because we had so many chances.

“I know I sound quite greedy, but I still remember having a nervy final few minutes in the win at Barnsley!

«I thought we were excellent from start to finish and were professional in the first half.»

“Sean was a massive threat in the opposition box and headed everything away that came into our one.

“A lot of our play came through him and Conor Shaughnessy at the back being brave on the ball and that was really pleasing.

“When the deliveries are that good and you attack them, then it becomes a simple game. We got that goal, which opened things up and that suited us.

“Paddy was disappointing last weekend by his own admission, but took the opportunity brilliantly – it turns out he’s a left winger.

“Considering that was Kusini Yengi’s first league start for us, he was really impressive and did the simple things well.

“After deservedly losing at home last weekend, we’ve had two tough away games and got six points from them.”
