DELIGHTED Shrewsbury manager Steve Cotterill hailed his side as “incredible” after nearly beating Portsmouth in a gripping draw.

Striker Robert Street’s second-half goal looked to have helped the Shrews claim their first home win for a month. 

But midfielder Marlon Pack’s late-minute equaliser helped Pompey pick up a precious away point.

Tom Flanagan was needlessly sent-off for a second yellow card, but a point ended an unwelcome run of four successive defeats for the hosts.

“I’m tired after watching that, but it was an incredible effort from the boys, just incredible,” said Cotterill.
