Ex-Peterborough United striker linked with West Brom, Southampton keen on Birmingham starlet

Peterborough United’s fight for survival continued last weekend, as they picked up a point at home to Stoke City.

An entertain clash saw the visitors take the lead via Jacob Brown midway through the first half, before Jonson Clarke-Harris equalised for the Posh five minutes later.

This pattern was repeated late on, as the visitors looked to have scored the winner in the 84th minute, before Clarke-Harris drew his side level with a stoppage time penalty soon afterwards.

The result saw the Posh close the gap on 21st place Reading to six points, and there's still plenty of time for the side to break their way out of the bottom three over the course of the next ten matches.

Speaking after the game, Posh boss Grant McCann said: “It was two evenly-matched sides playing the same formation and a similar style on a pitch that wasn’t conducive to playing pretty football,” McCann said.

“The draw was probably a fair result and fair play to my players for showing the desire and resilience required to get back into the game twice.

“I was really pleased with how we responded to setbacks. The players were rewarded for their endeavour and for sticking together with a point. We want to win our home games, but it’s a point nearer to safety with another home game to come.

Next up, Peterborough take on Swansea City at home on Wednesday evening.
