Free-scoring centre-back claims the winning goal for Peterborough United Under 21s in South Wales
Peterborough United delivered a fine 2-1 win at Swansea City in the Professional Development Under 21 League on Tuesday.
Posh are guaranteed a second-place finish behind Sheffield United in the Northern section of the competition and will contest play-offs at the end of the season. Their final regular season game is at home to Brentford next Tuesday (under 14s).
Teams play each other across the sections and Posh are fourth in the combined table after goals from Ejiro Abbey and Lucca Mendonca secured victory in South Wales.
Abbey had already seen a decent shot saved when he opened the scoring on 22 minutes. The home side levelled through Morgan Bates just before the break with the help of a kind deflection, but Mendonca grabbed the winning goal in the 67th minute.
The centre-back's fourth goal in three matches came after he got on the end of a free kick.
Posh: Westcott, Bushell, Christoudias, Mendonca, Freeman, Andrews, Fox, McWilliams-Marcano, Abbey, Changunda, Davies. Subs: Bucknor, Joseph, Arber, Mlityalwa, Ndonjang.
UNDER 18s
Posh are back in Professional Development League action at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.
