Portsmouth striker Marko Milovanovic feels his side have shown a strong mentality to win both of their league games after defeat to Southampton in the south coast derby.

John Mousinho's team have beaten Sheffield United and Norwich following the loss at St Mary's, boosting them up the Championship table to 13th.

Summer signing Milovanovic, also known as Marezi, scored the game's only goal on Saturday when Pompey beat the Canaries, converting from the penalty spot shortly after half-time.

"We showed that we have good mentality as a team and we're strong," he told BBC Radio Solent.

"The team have recovered well and have shown that on the pitch. [We were hurting] more than you can imagine after [the Southampton loss] but we focused well on the next games.

"The best part of football [is] that you have another game in a few days after."

Milovanovic arrived at Fratton Park in July when he completed a £3m move from Spanish side Almeria.

So far in the Championship he has played eight times, scoring three goals in what is his first spell in English football.

"There is a lot to come but I try my best," Milovanovic added.

"I can help the team a lot and getting two wins in a row is the most important thing for us.

"Now we are trying to get three and four wins and this is what we have to do, we have to rest and recover and then be switched on.

"You don't get much time in this league, it's just recovering, eating, sleeping and then performing again."

Portsmouth return to action on Tuesday night when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
