Portsmouth boosted their hopes of returning to the Championship for the first time since 2012 with a narrow win against Oxford United on Saturday afternoon.
John Mousinho's men could not have wished for a better start to the game as Callum Lang fired them in front with just two minutes on the clock. The visitors, who remain in the hunt for a play-off place, hit back within four minutes with a penalty from Cameron Branagan.
But it was Pompey that secured the win and ensured they hold a seven-point lead at the top of the table thanks to a second-half goal from substitute Christian Saydee.
The hope and belief a successful season can be completed over the coming weeks and months rippled around Fratton Park as a long-awaited promotion took a step closer. And there are several well-known faces that will also be celebrating as Mousinho and his players can rely on the backing of famous faces from the worlds of TV, sport and more.
