Charlton 1-3 Portsmouth: Kenny Jackett's Pompey rally to win at The Valley
Tuesday 2 February 2021 22:44, UK
Portsmouth returned to winning ways as they defeated Charlton 3-1 at the Valley.
The contest was rearranged after the original tie was rained off an hour before kick-off on Saturday, leaving Pompey waiting for the chance to respond after defeat to top two Hull and Lincoln.
Charlton nearly took the lead on nine minutes when an Albie Morgan half-volley skimmed off the top of the crossbar.
Charlton goalkeeper Ben Amos stood up well to deny John Marquis from close range just before the half-hour mark, after he was put through by a superb ball from Michael Jacobs.
However, the home shot-stopper was beaten on 39 minutes when Jacobs unleashed a sweeping drive into the top left corner.
