Pompey comeback frustrates complacent Leicester
Leicester City lost more ground at the EFL Championship summit, after it was pegged back by Portsmouth in a 1-1 draw at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes are now five points adrift of league leader Coventry City, which extended its unbeaten start to the season to 10 matches after victory over Blackburn Rovers earlier in the day.
The hosts' dominance was rewarded in the 26th minute when Aaron Ramsey acrobatically turned Abdul Fatawu's cross into the box beyond the grasp of Josef Bursik.
Portsmouth responded brightly, though, as Yang Min-Hyeok's fierce volley rattled the crossbar, before Ramsey forced Bursik into a smart stop moments later at the other end.
Fatawu continued to look lively and saw a fine attempt repelled by visiting goalkeeper Bursik, with Harry Winks then trying his luck from distance, but he fired wide of the mark.
However, Marti Cifuentes' side was unable to add to its lead before half-time, and a slow start after the break allowed Portsmouth back into the contest just before the hour.
Julian Carranza cheaply lost possession, which saw a lightning counter-attack finished off by John Swift, whose left-footed strike beat Jakub Stolarczyk at his near post.
Portsmouth's continued improvement in the second half almost got it ahead, only for Stolarczyk to produce a wonderful save from close range to deny Florian Bianchini.
Leicester missed a glorious chance to steal all three points in the final minute of second-half stoppage-time, but Luke Thomas was unable to convert Hamza Choudhury's excellent cross at the back post.
