Substitute Christian Saydee’s first league goal of the season saw leaders Portsmouth win 2-1 against Oxford at Fratton Park to move a step closer to promotion.
In a fast and furious opening 45 minutes, the sides went in all square.
Pompey took the lead in the second minute when a powerful shot from Callum Lang squirmed under goalkeeper Jamie Cumming.
But Oxford equalised after six minutes when Pompey gave the ball away and Sean Raggett brought down ex-Pompey midfielder Owen Dale for a penalty which was easily converted by Cameron Brannagan.
Mark Harris then hit the Pompey post on 13 minutes.
Oxford had the first chance of the second half but Josh Murphy was also denied by the woodwork.
Pompey regained the lead after 67 minutes when Saydee held off a strong challenge to run clear and place the ball wide of Cumming.
Oxford pushed for an equaliser but to no avail.
