Portsmouth substitute Yang Min-hyeok scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to beat Charlton and take Pompey out of the Championship relegation places.<\/p>\n
Pompey took the lead after 69 minutes through Conor Shaughnessy but Charlton equalised in the sixth minute of time added on through Harvey Knibbs.<\/p>\n
However, as the stoppage-time clock moved on to eight, Yang shot right footed from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner to win it.<\/p>\n
The victory was Portsmouth’s sixth league win of the season, and extended their unbeaten run to four matches.<\/p>\n
The loss is Charlton’s seventh defeat in nine matches and means Nathan Jones’ side slip to 20th, just two points and one place above Portsmouth.<\/p>\n
The home side failed to register a single shot on target in a poor quality first half from both teams.<\/p>\n
Wild and wide attempts from both Terry Devlin and Makenzie Kirk summed up their lack of threat on goal.<\/p>\n
Charlton did manage to test Pompey keeper Nicolas Schmid with a couple of shots from Charlie Kelman.<\/p>\n
Schmid was then forced into a brilliant save in the top left hand corner from Charlton’s Reece Burke as the London side started the second period strongly.<\/p>\n
Portsmouth went close with a shot from Devlin saved by Thomas Kaminski, and full-back Zak Swanson shot just over the bar. <\/p>\n
Then came the key triple change on 64 minutes from Pompey manager John Mousinho, including Shaughnessy for his first appearance since a hamstring injury in September. He headed home from close range from an Adrian Segecic cross.<\/p>\n
Charlton had chances to equalise with Joe Rankin-Costello and Tyreece Campbell both shooting wide, before Jones made a quadruple change of his own.<\/p>\n
It paid dividends in stoppage time when a Charlton corner was nodded on by Miles Leaburn, finding the head of sub Knibbs who finished into the top left corner.<\/p>\n
Despite the clock ticking over into the 98th minute, referee Paul Tierney allowed the home side to take the kick-off. The ball was played into the Charlton box, and sub Yang netted the winner.<\/p>\n
Portsmouth climb up to 21st, three points clear of the relegation places before a trip to Bristol City on New Year’s Day. Charlton have now won only two of their 13 away games this season, and host leaders Coventry City on 1 January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Portsmouth substitute Yang Min-hyeok scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to beat Charlton and take Pompey out of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":{"0":"post-210530","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-new-zealand","9":"tag-newzealand","10":"tag-nz","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
