Gallery: Portsmouth 3 Exeter City 2

Pics from a rollercoaster afternoon at Fratton Park

Here are some images by Steve Ayers from the 3-2 Portsmouth win against Exeter City at Fratton Park.

Ricky Holmes' cross caught a gust of wind and found the net to put the hosts ahead before half-time, and Ryan Bird netted twice after the interval.

City weren't down and out though and clawed back to within a goal as Danny Coles headed in and John O'Flynn stabbed in from close range.

And the final whistle came just too soon for City, who were denied an equaliser with Pompey defending their narrow lead stoutly.
