After conceding in the third minute from Marcus Browne’s strike, supporters may have been forgiven for fearing the worst.

But Danny Cowley’s side produced a sensational comeback for the second consecutive match, as goals from Sean Raggett, George Hirst, and Hayden Carter secured three points – despite Luke McNally’s effort increasing the nerves around Fratton Park in the latter stages.

Here’s how Blues supporters reacted online

@PORTSMOUTHFCLEE: Great win! Keep going!

@MattGailbraith: Love to see it!

@PFCBOY19: I love you

@84Knight: Would have taken 4 points from the last 2 games, but would have expected them to come the opposite way around.

Decent performance tonight until 70mins and then sat back needlessly and made it harder than it needed to be.

@RoryPeter7: Huge win.

@BigGreggerr: Vindication.

@sebreilly84: Superb result!

@AtlGorillaTalk: This was not one I thought we would win, especially after going down a goal in the 3rd minute. Three points is good!
