Conor Chaplin stunned in-form Northampton with the winner four minutes from time

Portsmouth came from behind to win at in-form Northampton and close within one point of the automatic promotion places in League Two.

Defender Ryan Cresswell had headed the hosts ahead with a thumping effort from Joel Byron's corner.

Gareth Evans had Pompey level before half-time when he headed in Marc McNulty's cross on 32 minutes.

Substitute Conor Chaplin proved Portsmouth's match-winner as he finished Ben Tollitt's initial shot.

Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Northampton:

"It was a tough one for us, we wanted to take the game to Portsmouth, but they have great quality.

"The windy conditions allowed them to play higher up the pitch, but it's a scandal that they managed to score from our corner.

"As I said before the game, anyone who finishes above Portsmouth will go up this season; and that's no spin."

Portsmouth assistant manager Leam Richardson told BBC Radio Solent:

"I think when you win they're always big results. We've come to Northampton, a very good team. It's been a good game today.

"I thought we got on the ascendancy the second half.

"They certainly posed a threat throughout the game but to get the result and get the goals and see the belief coming through the lads, especially when we went 1-0 down, was fantastic."
