Danny Cowley’s side extended their unbeaten league run to eight games with the stalemate but will feel they missed a chance to get one over a promotion rival after Massimo Luongo was sent off for a second-half foul on Ronan Curtis.
Pompey turned the screw on the visitors as they went in search of a late winner, but they were unable to get the better of a resilient Wednesday defence and an inspired performance from keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who denied George Hirst, Ronan Curtis (twice) and Reeco Hackett over the course of the 90 minutes.
Here’s how our chief sports writer rated the Blues players’ individual performances…
