Pompey collected a hard-earned point at Charlton – and stretched their lead at the top of League One.
Paddy Lane headed against the bar in the first half and several chances were also missed, but after the break it was a tough battle for John Mousinho’s men.
However, they dug deep to secure their clean sheet in a goalless draw and, with Bolton and Derby both losing, now lead the table by seven points.
(Replaced by Jack Sparkes on 61 mins) Sustained a nasty clash of heads with Anderson, but as ever soldiered on with the minimum of fuss. Put a couple of decent balls in from the left during the first-half but prioritised defending and was sound. Photo: Jason Brown
Nearly pulled off one of the goals of the season with a right-footed volley after receiving Pack’s throw-in in the first half, but brilliantly saved. The Blues’ best player in the first half but faded after the break. Photo: Jason Brown
(Replaced by Kusini Yengi on 73 mins) Headed against the bar in the 16th minute but had a real off-day, barely making an impact. Considering his performances in recent weeks, he’s entitled to a quiet afternoon sometime. Photo: Jason Brown
