Portsmouth moved to the top of League Two with goals in each half from Gareth Evans and Jayden Stockley sealing victory over Bristol Rovers.

Conor Chaplin headed wide at the back post before Evans opened the scoring, nodding in Kyle Bennett's cross.

Rovers equalised shortly after half-time when Jermaine Easter's close-range shot hit the bar and deflected in off Pompey goalkeeper Aaron McCarey.

Stockley prodded home from close range to win it for Pompey.

The result also ensures that Paul Cook's side remain unbeaten in the league this season, while Rovers are 17th in the table.

Portsmouth manager Paul Cook told BBC Radio Solent:

"I just thought we were excellent today, I thought it was a really good game of football. I have said for a while now about the balance of the team, you know the modern day game especially being Portsmouth manager you judge form game to game.

"Good passing, good movement, great ball in the box and you get goals.

"Adam (McGurk) did his ankle in the warm up so that was disappointing so we had to make a few changes today but that's part of the game. We are just happy that the squad is working together."
