Bristol Rovers 0-2 Portsmouth

Colby Bishop grabbed a double for Portsmouth as they kept alive their slim play-off dream by beating Bristol Rovers.

The 26-year-old striker scored from a narrow angle in the 19th minute after a Ryan Tunnicliffe through pass, and with the forward controversially judged onside, his low shot hit both posts before settling in the net.

Rovers first-team coach Andy Mangan and substitute Glenn Whelan were both given yellow cards in the aftermath as the home dugout remonstrated with referee James Bell and his assistants.

Bishop netted his second goal of the game from the penalty spot after 69 minutes, following Paddy Lane being pulled back by substitute Calum MacDonald, as the Portsmouth winger reacted quickest to reach a fumble from goalkeeper James Belshaw.

John Marquis missed a glorious chance to score against his former side three minutes before the break as he lashed an effort over the bar.

Jarell Quansah received a straight red card for a late lunge on Joe Morrell in the final minutes to add to Rovers' problems.
