Bishop’s header not Pigott’s.

Pompey are level again as Curtis’ cross is brilliant met by Pigott. Looks a fair chance it’s over the line as his header cannons down off the bar but Jacobs makes sure in any case!

The response is almost instant from the home side as Raggett’s clearance is picked up by Dele Bashiru who lashes home from 25 yards

Pompey are level thanks to Pack’s quality as he gets to the byline and pitches the ball up for Ogilvie to plant home an excellent header
