Portsmouth 2-1 Peterborough: Dane Scarlett double sees Pompey to victory

Watch highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Portsmouth and Peterborough United.

Dane Scarlett scored twice as Portsmouth came from behind to beat fellow high-flyers Peterborough 2-1 at Fratton Park.

Posh took the lead with just five minutes played when Jack Marriott fired home after Michael Morrison was robbed of the ball by Jonson Clarke-Harris.

Pompey's Owen Dale fired an effort wide in the 23rd minute before an unmarked Ronan Curtis put a sitter of a header past the post eight minutes later.

The hosts drew level seven minutes before half-time when captain Clark Robertson crossed for Tottenham loanee Scarlett to head home.

The early pressure in the second half belonged to Peterborough, but it was Danny Cowley's Pompey who had the first chance on 59 minutes, with Curtis again nodding wide.
