Pompey couldn’t immediately bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment as they were held by Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls were playing with a man less for the final 20 minutes, but hung on for a well-earned point.

For the hosts, they may feel it was two points dropped with the man advantage coinciding with a number of missed chances.

As a result, the Blues are three points off the top six as they missed the chance to leapfrog MK Dons who play tomorrow.

HALF-TIME: Pompey 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

Two minutes of added time

Great save from Peacock-Farrell who dives brilliantly to his left to deny Ronan Curtis’ goalbound curling effort from the edge of the box.

Ollie Palmer should put the visitors ahead as his reactionary header from close range loops over the bar. Huge let-off.

Bannan whips the ball into the box from a corner and Pompey do well to clear for another after a melee in the box. From the resulting, Bazunu catches.
