From joy to despair for Peterborough United old boy in the Bundesliga and a red card on debut for Posh loanee
Former Peterborough United striker Ricky-Jade Jones’ day in the Bundesliga went from joy to despair.
Jones was sent on as a substitute with his St Pauli side 2-0 down at second-placed Borussia Dortmund on Saturday and scored a well-taken goal 18 minutes from time to bring his side level at 2-2.
But in the 95th minute Jones conceded the penalty which former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can converted to seal a 3-2 home win. St Pauli are now bottom of the table.
Elsewhere Former Posh pair Jack Taylor and Sammie Szmodics scored in a 3-0 Championship win over Blackburn Rovers at Portman Road. Szmodics claimed his first goal of an injury-ravaged season late in a game against his former club. It was also Taylor’s first goal of the campaign.
Also in the Championship recent signing Ronnie Edwards was an unused substitute for QPR in a 0-0 draw at Stoke City, while Hector Kyprianou played 80 minutes of Watford’s 2-0 loss at home to Millwall. Ephron Mason-Clark had a hand in Coventry City's first goal as they came from behind to win 2-1 at home to Leicester City.
In League One ex-Posh striker Jack Marriott scored for Reading in a 3-1 defeat at Leyton Orient and in Division Two Klaidi Lolos was shown a straight red card in Crawley’s 2-1 home loss to Notts County.
Lolos who moved on loan to Crawley from Posh earlier in the week was dismissed after an off-the-ball incident involving former Posh skipper Ollie Norburn.
On-loan Posh forward Chris Conn-Clarke claimed an assist in Carlisle United’s 3-3 National League draw at Solihull Moors.
Isaac Buckley-Ricketts, a goalscoring FA Cup hero against Crystal Palace last weekend, scored again as Macclesfield beat Oxford City 3-0 in a National League North match.
