'Atkinson left everything out there' - Mousinho

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho spoke to BBC Radio Solent after Rob Atkinson scored both of Pompey's goals - as well as an own goal - in their 2-2 draw with Derby County.

"Before the game we wanted to win it, it was a big game for us but the most important thing was to not lose the game," Mousinho said.

"So when you go through what we went though today, in terms of missing a penalty, then shooting ourselves in the foot conceding the goals at really poor times, to come back into it was really pleasing.

"Rob [Atkinson] is a player who has two years' worth of bad injuries at Bristol City, and he came in in January and we managed him back into the fold and he unfortunately got that calf injury against QPR [in February].

"But there aren't many players with five games left on their loan risking what Rob risked today. He will go back to Bristol City after his loan, but he came in and he played like he had a four-year contract at Portsmouth, and I'm really pleased we have characters in the dressing room like that.

"He didn't have to do it, he was pencilled in for 60 minutes and we got beyond that, and as you saw, he left everything out there."
