Portsmouth defeat Swansea City 3-1 in Championship clash
Portsmouth secured a 3-1 victory over Swansea City at Fratton Park, extending their unbeaten run to six matches and moving up to 10th place in the Championship.
Despite Swansea controlling 62 percent of possession, Portsmouth took an early lead through Terry Devlin in the 36th minute. Swansea appeared to equalize in the 85th minute when Zan Vipotnik converted a penalty following a foul by Regan Poole. However, Portsmouth responded in stoppage time, with Devlin scoring his second goal in the 90+2 minute. Tommy Waddingham added a third goal deep into added time to seal the win.
The result prevents Swansea from moving to the top of the table, leaving Middlesbrough in first place. Swansea manager Vitor Matos expressed frustration over the late collapse, while Portsmouth manager John Mousinho praised his team’s stoppage-time performance.
