On-loan Town centre-half Matt Clarke played the full 90 minutes as League Two Portsmouth beat Championship Derby County 2-1 in the Capital One Cup first round at Fratton Park.
Clarke, 18, impressed throughout against a Rams frontline which featured ex-Blue Darren Bent as Pompey secured their place in the second round alongside the Blues.
Adam McGurk and Conor Chaplin scored the Portsmouth goals either side of Jason Shackell’s equaliser for Derby.
Academy product Clarke is with Pompey on a youth loan until January 3rd with Town able to recall him at 24 hours’ notice after the first 28 days of the spell.
The draw for the second round of the Capital One Cup takes place on Sky Sports following the Doncaster-Leeds tie on Thursday evening.
