Portsmouth 3-1 Cambridge United

Portsmouth came from behind against Cambridge United to maintain their six-point cushion at the top of League One.

The visitors took a surprise lead when Danny Andrew's header from Sullay Kaikai's corner was adjudged to have crossed the line at the near post eight minutes before the break.

However, after the recalled Kusini Yengi was fouled in the box on 44 minutes, the Australia striker picked himself up and sent U's keeper Jack Stevens the wrong way from the penalty spot.

The game was then turned on its head just before the hour when Yengi and Paddy Lane combined down the left to set up Brentford loanee Myles Peart-Harris to stretch and guide home his first goal for Pompey club with a low finish.

There was still time for Lane's charge-down to find Abu Kamara in space on the right of the area and the Norwich loanee curled home a superb angled effort which flashed past Stevens and in off the underside of the crossbar for his sixth goal of the season.

Pompey's fifth win in six matches was the first time they had registered consecutive home wins since October, though the only worry for boss John Mousinho was an apparent hamstring injury for midfielder Tom Lowery in the first half.

The U's have picked up just one win in five and are four points above the drop zone.
