With Pompey defeating Rochdale 4-1, it meant they moved level on points with Jack Ross’ men with just five games remaining.
And following his goal, Chaplin celebrated zealously – causing him to be booked for his antics.
It also led to chants of He’s One Of Our Own being sung throughout Fratton Park.
And Chaplin heeded the wish.
