Marc McNulty’s pass broke kindly to the Ulsterman, who beat Matt Ingrham in the Wycombe goal to make it 2-1 at half-time.
After the break, the Blues pressed for an equaliser, and when Adam Webster met Ben Davies’ 56th-minute corner, it was 2-2.

Wycombe 0-0 Pompey
In January 2015, Pompey and the Chairboys played out a drab 0-0 draw at Adams Park.
The Blues started the brightest, and Matt Tubbs had early chances thwarted first by keeper Ingram and then by defender Joe Jacobson.
The Chairboys almost went in front just before the break, when Jacobson’s powerful shot smashed against the crossbar from Peter Murphy’s pull-back.

Wycombe 0-1 Pompey
A brilliant goalkeeping display from Trevor Carson helped Pompey climb away from the relegation zone with 1-0 win at Adams Park in 2014.
The Chairboys went close early on as Matt McClure was twice denied by Carson, before the Northern Irishman made a fine reflex save to deny Reece Styche a debut goal from six yards out.

There was still time for some late drama, though, when Doherty’s last-minute effort was ruled out for a push on the keeper, much to the frustration of the home fans.
