Stoke City produced a stirring second-half turnaround to beat Portsmouth 2-1 and go top of the Championship.

Ben Wilmot's 77th minute goal gave Mark Robins' side their fifth successive away win as they underlined their promotion credentials again on the road.

Pompey had taken an early lead through Tyrese Shade but Stoke equalised after the break via Jack McGlynn's fifth goal of the season before centre-back Wilmot gave the in-form visitors victory.

The defeat was Portsmouth's first in seven matches.

Portsmouth, without striker Marko Milovanovic and midfielder Iyad Mohamed who were injured in midweek against Swansea, went ahead in the sixth minute with a great finish from Shade.

The summer arrival from Burton Albion bent his shot expertly into the far corner for his first goal for the club.

Portsmouth dominated the first half and Stoke goalkeeper Viktor Johansson had to make a couple of important stops from Regan Poole after a marauding run by the centre-back and a deflected shot by Odin Bailey.

Captain Marlon Pack also went close with a piledriver from long range which just cleared the bar.

But Stoke were much improved after the break and with Ethan Galbraith increasingly influential, before McGlynn equalised in the 59th minute.

Ben Johnson crossed innocuously from the right, but Portsmouth goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid allowed the ball to go under his hands and as Terry Devlin attempted to clean up.

The busy Luca Bombino, who had only been on the field for two minutes, blocked his clearance into the path of his fellow American who fired home with his left foot.

The decisive moment then came 18 minutes later as Galbraith's long-range shot was palmed away by the diving Schmid and centre-back Wilmot followed the ball in to head home.

Stoke substitute George Hirst had two confident penalty appeals turned down to extend Stoke's lead further, as he was brought to ground by first Madiodio Dia and then Ebou Adams, but it made no difference in the end as the visitors took the spoils.
