Plymouth 2-2 Portsmouth: Late leveller for Plymouth

Highlights of Plymouth's 2-2 draw with Portsmouth in the Sky Bet League Two.

Plymouth substitute Connor Smith scored a late leveller as the League Two leaders drew 2-2 with promotion rivals Portsmouth in front of 13,508 at Home Park.

Smith smashed home from 15 yards in the 89th minute, soon after Pompey sub Danny Rose scored a 25-yard screamer in off the underside of the bar.

Plymouth's Yann Songo'o stooped to head the leaders ahead on 20 minutes, converting Graham Carey's inswinging free-kick from the left touchline at the near post.

Argyle should have doubled their lead in the next attack but Jordan Slew's close-range shot was scrambled off the goal-line by Carl Baker.

Portsmouth levelled when Conor Chaplin swept past Nauris Bulvitis down the left and teed up unmarked Kyle Bennett, who roofed in a rising first-timer from just inside the box.
