Thomas Waddingham's late goal earned Portsmouth a 2-1 comeback victory over Millwall at Fratton Park.

Thomas Waddingham scored a fortuitous late winner as Portsmouth came from behind to beat Millwall 2-1 at Fratton Park. Cooper's attempted clearance in the 82nd minute ricocheted off Waddingham and into the net to settle an error-strewn contest.

Jenson Metcalfe had put Millwall ahead early on, capitalising on a mistake from Portsmouth goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid. Just ten minutes later, Adrian Segecic's scuffed free-kick deceived Millwall forward Lyndon Dykes at the near post, forcing him to score an own goal and equalise the match.

The two sides battled through difficult wet and windy conditions in the second half before Waddingham's lucky intervention in the 82nd minute. The victory sees Portsmouth record their third win in four matches, while Millwall have taken just six points from their last seven games.
