Portsmouth breathed life into their Sky Bet League One promotion push with a 3-2 win at Walsall.

Pompey recorded a first away league win since December as Kenny Jackett's decision to bring Brett Pitman, Omar Bogle and Viv Solomon-Otabor into the side paid dividends, with all three on target.

Lee Brown's 13th-minute cross appeared to be drifting out of play when Morgan Ferrier needlessly shoved Nathan Thompson and Pitman converted the resulting penalty.

Ferrier tested Craig MacGillivray at the other end after 25 minutes but the Pompey keeper's clearance was not dealt with by the Saddlers' defence and Bogle's lob from the edge of the area doubled the away side's lead.

Jamal Lowe's effort from a quick free-kick was chalked off after referee Trevor Kettle ordered the set-piece to be retaken.

Pompey added a third midway through the second half when Pitman played in Lowe down the right and he squared for Solomon-Otabor, who provided a cool finish.

Jon Guthrie pulled one back when he headed home from a corner 15 minutes from time and the defender scrambled a second in stoppage time.
