The incredible Portsmouth comeback haul stunning English football with Peterborough United, Derby County, Lincoln City, Reading & Co reeled in

Indomitable Pompey did it again at Reading on Saturday, as they fought back to snare victory.

This time it was a two-goal deficit overturned by John Mousinho’s side, as they picked up a 3-2 success in Berkshire.

That amazingly made it 17 points secured from a losing position so far this season for the Blues, as they moved six points clear at the top of League One.

For context, only one team bettered that return in the entirety of the last Premier League campaign!

It’s a total unsurpassed in English football this season by some distance with Liverpool, Spurs & Co left in Pompey’s shade.

We’ve now broken down the occasions this season in which Mousinho’s men have battled back from going behind to either draw on win, as the incredible run sums up their never-say-die attitude.
