John Marquis celebrating like he's scored in the Champions League final for Portsmouth - you've gotta love salty Sunderland fans

Pompey (and Sunderland) fans have been having their say on the late drama as Pompey sealed a Wembley return against Exeter City last night. Here’s a selection of those views.

No this is not John Marquis scoring in the Champions League final, this is him scoring against League 2 Exeter in the semi final of the Leasing.com trophy

What an exciting game! Back to Wembley for a second straight season! That is something to be proud of. Can only be good for the fans for a proper away day. What fight in the team to keep coming back. Quality go
