'Fell off my seat. What a team this is' - Portsmouth fans are dreaming after Conor Shaughnessy's incredible last-gasp winner against Carlisle
Pompey fans on social media are believing!
The Blues snatched a last-gasp winner against Carlisle thanks to centre-back Conor Shaughnessy – his second match-winner in stoppage-time for Pompey in consecutive league games.
Coupled with second-placed Oxford dropping points at home to Blackpool, the 1-0 win against the Cumbrians sees John Mousinho’s side open up a three-point lead at the top of the League One table.
And with the Blues securing a sixth-straight league win on the way to extending their unbeaten run, many of the Fratton faithful are daring to dream of a return to the Championsip.
Here’s what fans on X, formerly Twitter, said at the full-time whistle.
@kevypiow: Such a different Pompey this!!! Just not happening and then boom! Never give up #pompey.
