Portsmouth manager John Mousinho was full of praise for striker Callum Lang, who scored all four goals in their 4-1 win over Coventry.

"Since Callum has come to the football club he has scored some big goals and he has been our outstanding player this season," Mousinho said.

"The energy he puts in, the amount of running he does, his physical presence and it is about adding quality for him - today he added the quality and was superb.

"My only disappointment is that he didn't score more. It was really pleasing and he should be pushing for more and more.

"He put himself in the right positions and when he got the chances he finished them."

Mousinho said it was a "fantastic result and performance, especially the second half".

"I'm really pleased that with that adversity in the first half going a goal down and almost going two down we grew back into the game," he added.

"We were worth the win and probably worth a couple more goals. It was a comprehensive second half performance and I'm delighted with the three points."
