Four minutes’ stoppage time

Byers has a goal against his old side. Bazunu saves superbly from Paterson, but from the resulting corner the former Blues loanee heads home.

Decent free-kick put in by Curtis is headed behind for a corner

Pompey are going to Fleetwood next season. One goal from Gillingham at home to Rotherham and they are staying up. I know what trip I’d rather make - come on the Gills!

Pompey break two on two with Thompson who goes alone but Hutching puts in a superb block as he shoots from the edge of the box.

Gregory gets in on goal but lifts his lob on to the top of the netting.
