Andy Yiadom gave the visitors the lead, but Portsmouth levelled through Conor Chaplin shortly before half-time. Adam McGurk fired Pompey ahead, having ignored an offside flag which was raised for team-mate Kyle Bennett. Barnet were then reduced to 10 men as goalkeeper Jamie Stephens was shown a second yellow card, before Chaplin fired home to seal the win late on. Portsmouth assistant manager Leam Richardson told BBC Radio Solent: You'll see certain results around the country - once a team goes behind, they normally stay behind - but our lads have got a bit of belief in them, a bit of solidity, they believe in the philosophy that we are trying to put in place. There is still a lot of work to be done: we won't get carried away. Its Conor Chaplin's day today. Adam McGurk who has come into the team has also done very well and it's a squad game. We won't win the league with 11 players. It's points on the board and we're still unbeaten. Over the past few years the club has gone through a process, it will get its credentials back and hopefully we can be a part of that.

Allen on Portsmouth v Barnet I thought we played very well from start to finish. It's a great place for our players to come and play after playing in the Conference last year, to come to a stadium with support like this. I thought our players did our club proud, I think they did themselves proud. I'm not going to make any comment on the referee and his decisions. I think every Portsmouth supporter will say Barnet played well today.
