Colby Bishop joined Portsmouth from Accrington in the summer of 2022
Colby Bishop was among the goals as Portsmouth took revenge for their midweek Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Peterborough.
Posh took the lead after 20 minutes as, with plenty of room and only one defender to beat, Ricky-Jade Jones cut inside and curled the ball into the far corner.
Pompey equalised in the 38th minute when a Marlon Pack cross found Bishop to head home from close range.
Within five minutes, the home side had the lead. A corner from the right saw Kwame Poku slice the ball into his own six-yard box for a surprised Abu Kamara to sweep home.
After Peterborough midfielder Hector Kyprianou headed against his own bar, Pompey stretched their advantage on 59 minutes when a powerful low cross from Kamara saw Regan Poole net from close range.
Joe Morrell saw red for the home side after a second yellow five minutes from time, but John Mousinho's men held on for the points.
