Clarke's Pompey Return to Top of League Two - Ipswich Town News
Centre-half Matt Clarke and his loan side Portsmouth returned to the top of the League Two table following an eventful 3-1 win at Cambridge United this afternoon.
The 18-year-old was subbed in the 65th minute as Pompey switched their system when 1-0 down to the 10-man U’s, who had captain Mark Roberts sent off for an incident in the tunnel at half-time.
Clarke’s side also lost a player late on when Gareth Evans was dismissed for a wild challenge.
The Town youngster has now made 14 appearances for Portsmouth, with whom he is on loan until January 3rd, although with the Blues able to recall him at 24 hours' notice.
Winger Cameron Stewart’s loan club Doncaster weren’t in action due to international calls, while Josh Yorwerth missed Crawley’s 3-2 home victory over Leyton Orient as he was in action for the Wales U21s as they drew 0-0 in Denmark last night.
