Best performance since I've been here - Mousinho

John Mousinho said that Portsmouth's win over Ipswich Town on Tuesday night was the best performance since he has been in charge at Fratton Park.

Pompey struck twice just before the break through Conor Shaughnessy and Colby Bishop to move four points clear of the bottom three.

"In the moment it feels like the best performance since I've been here," Mousinho, who was appointed in January 2023, told BBC Radio Solent.

"There's been some good ones and that is definitely the best performance of the season, with everything taken into account over the last few weeks I think that is justified.

"The mentality off the back of the win on Saturday was something we haven't had all season, after winning games we wouldn't follow it up, we've only done it once from Charlton to Millwall.

"There's been a lot of false dawns where we've won a game and then looked to turn a corner but it's not quite been there, the other pleasing thing was the work rate which was just superb against such a top side tonight.

"It's still incredibly tight and tough down the bottom and the margins in the game are incredibly tight, we have to do everything we can to pick up as many points as we can."

Portsmouth are next in action on Saturday when they welcome 23rd-placed Leicester City to Fratton Park.
