Oxford United 1-1 Portsmouth

Adam McGurk has scored three times in nine appearances for Portsmouth this season

Adam McGurk's long-range equaliser helped 10-man Portsmouth maintain their unbeaten start to the League Two season with a draw at Oxford United.

Liam Sercombe fired Oxford ahead from the edge of the box after the visitors failed to clear a corner.

McGurk levelled the scores after the break as he thundered a shot into the left-hand corner from 30 yards out.

Portsmouth captain Michael Doyle was sent off for a second booking late on, but the hosts could not find a winner.

Portsmouth manager Paul Cook told BBC Radio Solent:

"There were spells where we were really poor, where we lost our way.

"I thought we showed a lot more maturity in how we wanted to play in the second half.

"There was a spell in the second half where we took total control of the game - unfortunately we couldn't go on and see it out."
