The much-changed Blues were largely comfortable throughout, but netted twice in the final nine minutes to claim a 2-0 triumph – and 97 points for the campaign.
Myles Peart-Harris opened the scoring on 81 minutes with a first-time finish from Paddy Lane’s pass, then Lane himself netted deep into stoppage time after substitute Abu Kamara struck the post.

5. Jack Sparkes - 7
Good to see him handed a rare start in the second-half of the season and didn’t let anyone down. Great second-half chance to score in front of an open goal, but struck his shot straight at the grounded keeper and it deflected over the bar. Photo: Jason Brown
(Replaced by Owen Moxon on 59 mins) First appearance since mid-February following time out injured and had some decent moments. Conceded the penalty, but it was Norris’ mistake in the first place. Harshly booked for winning a tackle just before he was substituted. Photo: Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
(Replaced by Abu Kamara on 65 mins) His Pompey farewell ended with him coming off with a knock and sarcastically applauding the home fans moaning about how long it was taking to come off. Been a breath of fresh air since return to fitness and another decent match, this time in the holding two. Photo: Jason Brown
There are often promising moments, but he frustratingly fails to take advantage, perhaps the story of his Pompey loan. However, he produced a lovely first-time finish from Lane's pass to score the opener. The quality is there. Photo: Jason Brown
