Gareth Evans had equalised for the hosts to cancel out Bryn Morris' first-half opener.

But Joe Jacobson netted a penalty three minutes later to grab his side a 2-2 draw.

Jackett was pleased with the application his troops displayed to battle back from behind.

But he was disheartened Pompey couldn't hang on to win the match. 

The Blues boss said: '˜We worked really hard to get back into the game.

'˜We were 2-1 up on 88 minutes and disappointed not to have seen the game out.

'˜Defensively it was a tough one to get a clean sheet '“ there were too many free-kicks against and then as they're putting balls into our box there's some danger.

'˜We repeatedly got attracted and drawn to the header too many times and, ultimately, it has cost us.

'˜It was then tough for us to then handle that situation.'
