Portsmouth boss John Mousinho said that their draw with Southampton was a "fair point".

The Blues came from behind to force a draw after Ebou Adams headed home deep into the second half to send Fratton Park into a frenzy.

Ultimately, it was an important point for Pompey, who are now out of the relegation zone.

"It was a good and fair point considering the circumstances with our injuries and really shuffling the squad around," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"We'll be disappointed to not win the game overall with the chances we created, and we could have nicked it at the end.

"We're always going to be frustrated with the goal we conceded, we didn't lock off the situation well enough and gambled trying to play offside.

"But, overall, I think it was a fair result."

Portsmouth welcome West Bromwich Albion to Fratton Park on Saturday.
