Trailing to Joao Pedro’s 11th-minute opener, the Blues couldn’t get the ball of Hull in the first half and barely raising any goal threat as they chased and chased.
However, it was a very different Pompey after the break, levelling 19 seconds in and proceeding to cause the hosts problems with an effective pressing game.
Callum Lang struck the bar in stoppage-time and the hosts were booed off at the final whistle – here are our Pompey player ratings...
1. Nicolas Schmid - 7
Conceded 11 minutes into his return from concussion, but moments later produced a good stop from Simons. With Pompey stepping up their game after the break, he barely had anything to deal with, while it’s now noticeable the Blues are no longer so reliant on a keeper using his feet. Photo: Jason Brown
2. Terry Devlin - 7
(Replaced by Jordan Williams on 67 mins) Deservedly kept his place at right-back following Sheffield Wednesday and kept Abu Kamara well in check. Has a fantastic energy and aggression often missing from Pompey’s general play. Photo: Jason Brown
3. Regan Poole - 6
Retained the captain’s armband and produced one tremendous standing tackle to prevent Kamara bursting through in the first half. Still a little shaky in parts, however. Had one early injury scare, but was able to continue. Photo: Jason Brown
4. Tom McIntyre - 7
Bounced back from a couple of below-par performances to give a confident and reliable display, with a couple of crunching tackles late on when the Blues needed him. Photo: Jason Brown
