'We are going up. It's happening. Biggest win of season' - the Portsmouth verdict as victory at Peterborough sees Blues take major step towards Championship

Pompey fans on social media have been celebrating a massive result in the Blues’ quest for Championship football.

John Mousinho’s side brushed aside the challenge of fellow promotion-chasers Peterborough today to take a major step towards the League One title.

Substitute Kusini Yengi was the hero, coming off the bench following an injury to Christian Saydee, to drill the ball past keeper Jed Steer following excellent work from fellow substitute Gavin Whyte.

The 1-0 result at the Weston Homes Stadium means Pompey remain five points clear at the top of the table and nine points clear of Bolton, who lost 1-0 at second-placed Derby.

Ten points from their remaining games is all that’s needed to guarantee promotion. With that in mind, it’s no wonder the fans are dreaming of a return to the Championship. Here’s a selection of the views shared following the final whistle at Peterborough.
