Portsmouth defender Hayden Matthews scored a second half own goal to gift Stoke a much-needed 1-0 win at Fratton Park.

Mark Robins' stuttering Potters had to work hard on the south coast to claim only their second win in seven Sky Bet Championship games.

Pompey handed summer signing Makenzie Kirk his first league start while the visitors seven changes following the midweek defeat at Millwall.

Promotion hopefuls Stoke began on the front foot, forcing two quickfire corners in the opening three minutes.

The Potters also created the first chance of the game in the seventh minute when an Aaron Cresswell cross saw Divin Mubama rise high to head just past the post.

Portmouth centre-back Hayden Matthews was unlucky to flick in a cross into his own goal to give Stoke the lead.

Three minutes later Pompey's Tottenham loanee Yang Min-hyeok beat two defenders before firing well wide.

Bae Juhno then found himself unmarked in the Pompey box but could only shoot wide.
