Conor McGrandles’ header in the third minute of time added-on early a dramatic point for the Addicks for a 2-2 scoreline on the south coast.
Abu Kamara’s stunning strike and Colby Bishop’s penalty had twice but the Blues in front, before being pegged back, but remain top of League One.
Nonetheless, there were some excellent displays amid the point – and here our our Pompey player ratings...

. Will Norris - 5
Unfortunately beaten at his near post for both of Charlton's levellers, the second time to break Pompey hearts the third minute into stoppage time. Produced one lovely moment in the second half with a drag back to send May flying by. Photo: Jason Brown
. Joe Rafferty - 7
Cleared Morrison’s cross off the line on 20 minutes when the scoreline was goalless and a couple of forays down the wing. But otherwise defensively solid. Photo: Jason Brown
. Sean Raggett - 7
Has never let Pompey down and clearly an excellent deputy for the injured Poole. Revelled in the aerial battle with Leaburn and used possession well. Photo: Jason Brown
. Conor Shaughnessy - 7
Should escape any criticism for conceding two goals with another dominant display from the impressive Irishman. Excelled in the air and used ball extremely well . Photo: Jason Brown
. Jack Sparkes - 7
Back to his normal self after Chesterfield, with some good raids down the left flank. Some very good moments defensively too as he continues to improve that side of his game. Photo: Jason Brown
. Joe Morrell - 8
Pompey’s heartbeat maintained his excellent form with another strong display. Covered every blade, always biting and chasing. Such a pivotal player. What a challenge in the dying seconds to prevent Alfie May getting in a shot. Photo: Jason Brown
. Alex Robertson - 9 - Man of the Match
An absolute delight to watch. His shot inside opening minute brought a save out of keeper which set the tone for a magnificent individual display oozing class and the occasion wonderful piece of skill. Superb. Photo: Jason Brown
1. Will Norris - 3
Wore the captain’s armband but it was an awful display. Campbell’s opener went straight through him at the near post, then his rush of blood coming off his line gifted Charlton their second on 51 minutes. What’s more, the keeper’s usually excellent distribution deserted him. Photo: Jason Brown
2. Zak Swanson - 6
(Replaced by Terry Devlin on 65 mins) Still bringing himself up to speed after late arrival in pre-season, but some encouraging moments, particularly defensively. Loves a tackle, always competitive and it was a solid display. Photo: Jason Brown
3. Jordan Williams - 5
Moved from right-back to centre-half, partnering Shaughnessy, and was caught out a little for the first goal. Settled down, but didn’t look entirely comfortable with his different role, as you would imagine. Struggled. Photo: Jason Brown
4. Conor Shaughnessy - 6
Part of a brittle centre-half pairing and that usual composure was largely missing. Interesting battle with Ahadme at times and not at his best. Photo: Jason Brown
