Portsmouth secured a 2-0 victory against Burton Albion on Tuesday night, bouncing back from their first League One defeat of the season against Blackpool.
Colby Bishop converted a penalty just before halftime, and Alex Robertson, on loan from Manchester City, scored his first senior career goal, contributing to Portsmouth’s impressive display.
The Australian midfielder has been a standout performer at Fratton Park since joining on loan in the summer. With a regular role in the absence of captain Marlon Pack, and partnering with Joe Morrell in the recent game, Robertson showcased his skills and versatility.
His notable performance earned him high praise, with The News giving him a score of 8/10 and awarding him the man of the match.
Reporter Jordan Cross expressed admiration, describing Robertson’s contributions as ‘moments of class beyond the reach of the rest’ and highlighting that having him in the team is ‘such a gift.’
Robertson’s success in youth football with Manchester City is now translating into a starring role in senior football with Portsmouth. His composed presence on the ball and well-deserved goal against Burton Albion reflect a strong start to his tenure at Fratton Park.
The hope is that Robertson will continue to impress in Portsmouth’s colors, contributing to their ambitions in League One.
The victory was crucial for Portsmouth, signaling a recovery from the defeat to Blackpool and providing an opportunity to demonstrate a resilient mentality in their pursuit of a long-awaited rise from League One under the management of John Mousinho.
