PORTSMOUTH’S players were left rationing water after getting trapped in a lift on Saturday.
Following their win over QPR, 10 Pompey stars were stuck between floors in the elevator.
John Mousinho’s side claimed their first Championship victory of the season at Loftus Road.
Pompey came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Freddie Potts and Callum Lang.
However, both players were then trapped in a lift with eight of their team-mates.
Defender Tom McIntyre revealed their plight on social media after sharing a video to his Instagram story.

The clip showed the players huddled inside the lift as they forced open the door, only to be met with a wall.
Several stars looked on as full-back Jordan Williams inspected the door before McIntyre panned the camera to show Owen Moxon sipping from his water bottle.
Match-winner Lang could then be seen turning to Moxon and hilariously telling him: “Actually save the water just in case.”
After making it out of the elevator, McIntyre uploaded the video alongside the caption: “Need to get stuck in the lift every week.”

Lang himself also shared the post to his own story, adding: “Save that water lads,” with a brain emoji.
Reacting to the incident on social media, one fan wrote: “Let’s hope they’re out in time for Cardiff.”
Meanwhile, another simply added: “Brilliant,” with a string of crying laughing emojis.
Pompey are back in action on Tuesday night as they visit Cardiff, who are one place above them in 22nd on goal difference.
Saturday’s win was their first in the second tier for over 4,000 days after a 12-year absence from the Championship.
The League One champions sealed their return in dramatic fashion back in April by beating Barnsley at Fratton Park.
Their maiden win also compounded the misery on QPR, who dropped to the foot of the table after just one win in 10 matches this season.
