Portsmouth 6-0 York City

Ben Davies (centre) scored his first goal of the season in Portsmouth's win over York

Six second-half goals saw Portsmouth ease past York City, who suffered their seventh successive defeat.

Jonathan Greening received a first-half red card for catching Michael Doyle in the face with his elbow.

Ben Davies and Marc McNulty scored early in the second half for Pompey.

Kyle Bennett set up McNulty to drive home his second and McNulty lobbed Scott Flinders to complete his hat-trick, before substitutes Ben Tollitt and Conor Chaplin finished the rout.

Portsmouth are fourth, four points behind third-placed Northampton.

The defeat extended York's wait for a win in League Two to 13 games, having last won against Newport on 5 September.

York City manager Jackie McNamara told BBC Radio York:

"The first half I thought we were fine.

"Obviously the sending off kills us a bit but at half time you get in there and obviously want to galvanise and make sure we don't give anything away easily or quickly.

"We lost a couple of early goals and we folded after that. I thought we crumbled.

"I thought we were individuals who felt sorry for ourselves and it turned out an embarrassing scoreline."
