Championship leaders Leeds United, who are unbeaten in 17 league games, visit Portsmouth’s Fratton Park, where they need every point to stay afloat.

The visitors were the better attacking threat and should have had a penalty late in the first half when Daniel James was brought down in the box, while Joel Piru missed two good chances, James once and Junior Firpo hit the crossbar.

In the second half, Portsmouth took the lead through Colby Bishop in the 61st minute, a winner for the home side that has now moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone and ended Leeds’ 17-game winning run in the league.

While Leeds’ situation, which was once a point gap between Sheffield United and Burnley two weeks ago, is now tied with The Blades on 76 points, while The Clarets in third place are only 2 points behind. ( sudpung168 )
