Portsmouth's Adam Webster seals victory over Cambridge

Adam Webster's second goal of the season completed Portsmouth's 2-1 win over Cambridge and moved them up to fifth in the Sky Bet League Two table.

The defender followed up Marc McNulty's 10th goal this campaign in a cagey affair between the two promotion-hunting sides.

McNulty set Pompey on their way with four minutes left of the first half, running onto Michael Doyle's quick free-kick and firing in off the underside of the bar.

Spencer, who was booked just before the half hour mark for totting up fouls, was lucky not to receive his marching orders just before half-time after catching Enda Stevens in the face.

Webster sealed Pompey's win in in the 62nd minute, following up from Kyle Bennett's 20-yard shot, which hit the bar, to fire into the roof of the net.

Luke Berry grabbed a consolation goal for Shaun Derry's side when he slotted in from close range after a free-kick from the left side of the box.
