Portsmouth won 1-0 against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park in League One on Saturday afternoon.
Danny Cowley’s side are now unbeaten in four League One matches and find themselves in 10th – five places higher than they were before yesterday’s game.
It was a close encounter at Adams Park with not much between the two sides, but it was Portsmouth who managed to steal all three points.
Wycombe centre-back Joe Jacobson had his penalty saved by Alex Bass in the first-half. It took 73 minutes for the deadlock to be broken as Marcus Harness converted a chance from close range, following a George Hirst cross.
It was an all-round impressive performance from Portsmouth, and plenty of fans were quick to hail on-loan Hirst – he’s no doubt endured a tough start to his loan sell, with no goals in his 11 League One outings so far.
See what these Portsmouth fans had to say on the 22-year-old’s performance yesterday:
I hope those that were quick to criticise George Hirst are just as quick to give him credit/support after the shift he put in today… @GeorgeHirst45 👏#Pompey pic.twitter.com/nxIpbeVOsb

Sounds like Hirst had a good game, didn’t score himself but got the assist, hopefully the lad gets a decent run in the team and can build on the last week!!#Pompey

Well played #pompey. I’ll hold my hands up and say I was fully expecting us to get turned over. Proved me and many others wrong 👏🏻
Good to see Hirst put in another good performance
Build on this and keep this run going 🔵⚽️
