SLIDESHOW: Portsmouth 1 Mansfield Town 1

Ryan Taylor’s 78th minute equaliser earned Portsmouth a point in Saturday 1-1 draw, just when it looked like Mansfield Town had ground out a superb win at Fratton Park.

The Stags had gone ahead five minutes into the second half with a superbly-executed bicycle kick by Lee Stevenson.

But the introduction of Irish international striker David Connolly swung the game as he forced Alan Marriott to push a low shot onto a post before his cutting pass put in Taylor to net on his Pompey debut and break the hearts of the 607 away fans.
