Championship round-up: Devlin delivers for Portsmouth

Terry Devlin scored a spectacular long-distance strike as his brace helped Portsmouth move four points clear of the Championship relegation zone with a 3-1 win at Charlton. The Northern Ireland full-back's first goal of the evening in the 22nd minute had to go down as a goalkeeping error by Thomas Kaminski, with the ball squeezing between his legs. Colby Bishop doubled Pompey’s advantage at the break, with Devlin adding a brilliant third in front of the travelling support, finding the top right corner in the 56th minute. Charlton substitute Jayden Fevrier’s 64th-minute goal proved to be only a consolation as Portsmouth recorded a first league double over their opponents since the 1985-86 season. Bristol City denied Wrexham a fifth successive away win in the division as Max Bird's spectacular late volley secured a 2-2 draw at Ashton Gate. Wrexham twice led through Ollie Rathbone and a Joe Williams own goal, but City were rewarded for a spirited second-half performance. Sinclair Armstrong drove home soon after the restart and fellow substitute Bird smashed home off the underside of the crossbar from 20 yards out two minutes from time.
