Trailing to Joao Pedro’s 11th-minute opener, the Blues couldn’t get the ball of Hull in the first half and barely raising any goal threat as they chased and chased.
However, it was a very different Pompey after the break, levelling 19 seconds in and proceeding to cause the hosts problems with an effective pressing game.
Callum Lang struck the bar in stoppage-time and the hosts were booed off at the final whistle – here are our Pompey player ratings...
9. Conor Chaplin - 6
(Replaced by Makenzie Kirk on 83 minutes) Again an encouraging game but, crucially, still unable to impact the Blues enough in attacking areas. Some nice touches and plenty of endeavour throughout. Photo: Stephen Flynn
10. Josh Murphy - 7
Wonderful cross from the left for Devlin’s second in a moment of absolute class. Yet looked leggy and not his usual self, perhaps evidence of Wednesday night’s long shift on his starting comeback. It didn’t help that he wasn’t given the ball enough an criminally underused. Photo: Graham Hunt
11. Colby Bishop - 5
Battled away and won a few fouls in physical tussles, yet wasn’t given a sniff of a goal-scoring opportunity by his team-mates as the drought continues. Requires help and creativity to flourish again. Played a role in Pompey’s second when he pressed the win the ball back for Murphy to create. Photo: Graham Hunt
