Posh Promoted After Stunning Fightback

Football. It can make you down, but my word, when it makes you happy, it is the best game in the world bar none. Today was one of those examples. Peterborough United needed a point to be promoted to the Championship. They were 2-0 down at the break and 3-0 down before the hour mark, but write off this team at your peril.

Siriki Dembele gave Posh hope and then Jonson Clarke-Harris saw a free-kick deflect into the back of the net. Lincoln missed an absolute sitter at the other end and then Posh were awarded a spot-kick in the final minute of stoppage time. Up stepped a cool, composed Clarke-Harris, into the back of the net the ball went.

What I do know, is that Posh are promoted. Into the Championship. What a way to do it.

The visitors made a bright start with Morgan Rogers somehow kept out by goalkeeper Joe Bursik at the near post with the Imps screaming the ball had crossed the line. Anthony Scully fired wide from distance before Posh created a half chance for Reece Brown, but his curling effort was well held by keeper Palmer.

Szmodics was then denied by Jones superbly before Siriki Dembele’s rebound was well blocked by a defender. However, at the other end, the visitors opened the scoring as a cross from the right was glanced home unmarked from six-yards by SCULLY. ‘
Both sides began to the up the tempo as the first half drew to a close but it was the Imps who got a boost as Thompson was penalised for a foul in the box and Jorge GRANT stepped to convert the penalty low past Bursik.

On 52 minutes, the Imps made it 3-0 as SCULLY cut inside onto his right-foot and delivered an inch-perfect effort into the top corner. Taylor was shown a yellow card moments later for a foul after another poor pass in the Posh midfield.

Bridcutt was cautioned on 55 minutes for a foul on Dembele. Rogers was a whisker away from making it 4-0 a minute later following a swift counter-attack as Posh were all over the place defensively.
