MARKO MAROSI 8

Excellent performance - and took one for the team with his red card. He made three crucial second half saves.

NIALL MASON 7

Went about his defensive duties impressively and got to the by-line a few times too.

JOE WRIGHT 8

Continued his fine start to the season with another assured performance. Read the game very well.

ANDY BUTLER 7

Won his headers and mopped things up. Might have made more of his first half chance.

DANNY ANDREW 6

Really calm and composed on the ball but did not get forward as much as Mason.

HERBIE KANE 8

Another energetic, dynamic display in the engine room. This lad really is a brilliant find.

BEN WHITEMAN 7

Helped set the tempo with some accurate, purposeful passing. Credit to him for taking the goalie gloves - and looking the part!

MATTY BLAIR 7

Put forward his case for a regular starting spot with a confident display. Found space and produced some impressive surging runs.

ALFIE MAY 6

Looked eager to impress. Worked very hard out of possession but his touch often let him down.

JOHN MARQUIS 6

Got through plenty of the ugly stuff but offered little goal threat.

MALLIK WILKS 5

This was the Leeds loanee’s least effective performance yet. He remained on the fringe of the game and rarely threatened.

SUBS USED

JAMES COPPINGER 5

Composed as ever on the ball but unable to unlock Pompey’s back-line.

TOMMY ROWE 5

Got into some dangerous positions high up the pitch.

ALEX KIWOMYA N/A

Marosi’s sending off reined him in slightly.

Ian Lawlor, Tom Anderson, Jermaine Anderson, Alfie Beestin.
