The visitors netted their first goal in six weeks to claim a surprise 1-1 draw at Fratton Park and prevent a fifth straight League One victory for the leaders.
The Blues never really got going in the second half, with Fleetwood registering their equaliser through Josh Earl, and here are our Pompey player ratings...
9. Abu Kamara - 8
(Replaced by Anthony Scully on 85 mins) Connor Teale cleared one shot off the line, while the foot of the far post thwarted another left-footed shot and then won the penalty during an dangerous first half from the loanee. Didn’t quite get the opportunities after the break. Photo: Jason Brown
10. Colby Bishop - 7
Ever-reliable from the penalty spot, sending Lynch the wrong way on the stroke of half-time. Led the line well and put in plenty of effort, as you’d expect, but couldn’t make too many inroads. Photo: Bryn Lennon
11. Paddy Lane - 7
(Replaced by Gavin Whyte on 77 mins) A couple of half chances blocked but otherwise generally a quiet match on the left flank. However, looks as though he’s got the makings of a decent partnership with Jack Sparkes down that side. Photo: Jason Brown
