Sheffield United 1 : 2 Peterborough United - Late show seals Posh win



Posted Wednesday, March 04, 2015 by PA

Managerless Peterborough came from behind to win 2-1 at promotion-chasing Sheffield United following two late goals.

Matt Done had put the hosts in front midway through the second half before Jack Payne and substitute Conor Washington struck at the death.

Home striker Marc McNulty had the first chance of the match with a shot which was touched over by keeper Ben Alnwick.

Peterborough's Kyle Vassell hit the side-netting with a shot at the other end.

The hosts threatened with Jamie Murphy's effort forcing Alnwick to use his legs to keep the ball out and the keeper also saved Michael Doyle's try from just outside the area.

Vassell put a far-post shot wide before Done scored an opportunistic goal 65 minutes in. After dispossessing Ricardo Santos, Done saw his shot parried by Alnwick and reacted smartly to head the rebound over the keeper and into the far corner of the net.

Peterborough skipper Payne went close to equalising with a long-range drive which hit the outside of Iain Turner's right-hand post.

But Payne levelled with a 20-yard effort two minutes from time and substitute Washington then struck a 90th-minute winner, bursting into the area before smashing the ball past Turner to complete a stunning late turnaround.
