After the match manager Jackson said: “That was a massive three points for us tonight.
“Pompey are a team just above us, and we are looking to chase those teams down. The performance and the way we have gone about our business was very pleasing.
“It will do their confidence the world of good. I thought we were the better team throughout.
“We carried a massive threat on the counter attack, and thought we should have had more goals and been out of sight.
“I felt we warranted the win. We’ve had a really good week on the training ground, and coming here is always difficult, so it’s been a good week all round.”
