Jimmy Dunne's second-half equaliser earned play-off chasing Queens Park Rangers a point at Portsmouth.

Terry Devlin opened the scoring with a left-footed finish, but Rangers hit back just after the hour mark through skipper Dunne's third goal of the season.

Relegation-threatened Pompey have now won just one of their past six matches and drop into the Championship relegation zone following Oxford's late win over Southampton.

Rangers have lost just two of their past eight games - a run which has included five wins - and are very much in the race for a top-six finish, although this result meant they dropped to ninth.

Portsmouth dominated the first half and were rewarded just before the interval.

Conor Chaplin's right-wing corner was clumsily scuffed away by Richard Kone as far as Devlin, who fired home from near the penalty spot.

The goal came as no surprise as the hosts had been well on top, with Chaplin's deliveries and winger Harvey Blair, who played in the absence of the injured Josh Murphy, causing QPR problems.

Colby Bishop headed against the near post from Chaplin's early corner, headed a Chaplin cross wide, and brought a save from keeper Ben Hamer with a left-footed strike before Pompey eventually took the lead.

But Rangers were better after the break and also scored via a right-wing corner, delivered by Nicolas Madsen, with Dunne getting in front of Bishop to plant a header beyond Nicolas Schmid.

Keeper Schmid then kept out a header from Kone, who also sent an effort well wide of the target as the R's threatened to score again.

Portsmouth have struggled at set-pieces this season and conceding from one again proved costly.

They will hope for better at home to Charlton on Monday, while QPR will be away to West Bromwich Albion.

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent:

"We were excellent in the first half and well deserving of the lead. We could have had a couple more - that was the only disappointing thing.

"Then in the first 15 to 20 minutes of the second half we just didn't do the things we'd done in the first half and were punished for that.

"On balance, it was a fair result, but the way we dominated the first 45, we definitely should have won the game and had it out of sight by that point, so it does feel like there was an opportunity there to get three points. We created enough to win the game.

"We have to take the point and dust ourselves off, because we've got Charlton here in three days' time."

QPR head coach Julien Stephan told BBC Radio London:

"Two different halves. It was a very difficult first half for us - not good enough in terms of intensity and quality.

"It was a poor first half from us and a good reaction in the second. We scored and had two or three opportunities to score another one.

"It was really better at the beginning of the second half and I think it changed the momentum of the game a lot. And after that we know have some quality, with offensive players able to create some danger.

"When you play only one half away, it's very difficult to get a top result. But we have to take this point. I think it's a good point for us.

"We played only 45 minutes with quality and it's a point, so we take the point."
