Former Ipswich Town duo Will Norris and Lee Evans have won the League One title with Portsmouth.
John Mousinho's side came from behind to beat Barnsley 3-2 at Fratton Park last night, having trailed 2-1 with less than ten minutes to go.

However, Pompey scored two late goals to be crowned champions of the third tier and return to Championship for the first time since 2012.
Evans left the Blues at the start of February after having his contract terminated by mutual consent and joined Portsmouth last month on a deal until the end of the season.
The Welshman has featured four times for them since returning from a knee injury, making his second start last night to help take them seven points ahead of Derby County in second.
He has now won promotion from League One four times - he helped Town finish second last season and won the title with Wolves and Wigan Athletic in 2013/14 and 2017/18 respectively.
Norris joined Pompey from Burnley on a three-year deal last summer, and has starred in goal, keeping 18 clean sheets in his maiden campaign at Fratton Park.
He was named in the EFL League One team of the year, alongside his Pompey team-mates Conor Shaughnessy and Marlon Pack, while Pompey boss Mousinho won manager of the season.
In total, Norris played 20 games for Town on loan from Wolves in the 2019/20 season.
