Posh v Colchester United

Posh made it two friendly victories in 24 hours with a 2-1 success over Colchester United on Saturday afternoon.

Peterborough United made it two wins from two within the last 24 hours as Darren Ferguson's men came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Sky Bet League Two side Colchester United at the idverde Training Ground.

The game, which was initially due to be played at the JobServe Community Stadium, was switched to the club's training ground and it proved to be a competitive encounter.

Posh dominated for large spells of the first half and created numerous chances inside the opening 10 minutes with Hector Kyprianou heading over and Abraham Odoh nodding wide after good work from Kwame Poku.

On 18 minutes, Posh struck the woodwork twice in 10 seconds, first Pokus strike hit the crossbar and then Joel Randall saw his header also rebound off the bar.

On 23 minutes, the U's opened the scoring from the spot through the experienced Lyle Taylor, their first entry into the penalty area of the game.

The lead didn't last long though, Odoh slid Randall in down the left and his fierce cross was diverted past his own goalkeeper at the near post by defender Goodliffe. 

On 36 minutes, goalkeeper Matt Macey produced a fine stop to keep out a curling Poku free-kick and three minutes later, Posh were in front as a corner kick was headed goalwards by FERNANDEZ and squeezed over the line via a defender.

Just after the hour, Jed Steer produced a fine stop with his legs while Hopper guided a shot wide of the far post.

On 76 minutes, Randall's close-range effort was kept out by the legs of the goalkeeper after good work by James Dornelly.
