Aaron Collins pays tribute to Bristol Rovers fans amid penalty frustration in Portsmouth defeat

Aaron Collins could not conceal his frustration after Bristol Rovers felt they were on the wrong side of key refereeing decisions in the 3-1 defeat at Portsmouth on Saturday.

Rovers had their backs against the wall at Fratton Park, but Collins' equaliser just after the hour put the game back in the balance before it hinged on two big calls from referee Gavin Ward in the final 10 minutes.

First, Pompey were awarded a spot kick eight minutes from time when Joe Pigott went to ground after Harry Anderson attempted to make a clearance. The Rovers man did make contact with the ball before the striker and Pompey boss Danny Cowley admitted he did not think it was a foul.
