Portsmouth manager John Mousinho said he clashed with Cesar Peixoto after the Wolves boss told him he "talks too much".

Mousinho was involved in an incident as the full-time whistle sounded after Pompey had scored a late equaliser to earn a point at Molineux on Tuesday night.

Peixoto angrily approached him before there was an exchanging of terse words and both head coaches had to be held back.

"We shook hands at the end of the game and, as we walked off, he kindly told me I talk too much," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"That was it. I very politely told him I disagreed. That's my job as head coach. I don't know what it was all about.

"At the end of the game you shake hands and walk off. That's what we do. We will stick to that but the second someone has a pop back, I think it's fair game."

Terry Devlin scored a fine volley in the 86th minute to earn Pompey a point and stretch their unbeaten run to three matches following the derby defeat to Southampton.

"We've played four top sides in 10 days, and with the injuries we have, then it's a great point," Mousinho added. "15 points from the first 11 games? I'd have taken that.

"If you add in the fact that we were a goal down under immense pressure, then it's a brilliant result.

"Wolves' goal was a kick in the teeth but Terry Devlin has shown us time and time again over the last few years what can happen when the ball falls to him."
