Happy memories for Peterborough United after the draw for the last 32 of the Vertu Trophy

The hunt for a third straight EFL Trophy success takes Peterborough United to Swindon Town on Tuesday, December 2 (7.30pm kick off).

The first management job for Posh boss Luke Williams was at Swindon. The tie will also bring back happy memories of those involved with Posh in the 2013-14 season.

Back then Posh famously beat Swindon on penalties in the Area Final of the EFL Trophy to reach Wembley for the first time in this competition.

Posh threw away a 2-0 lead in the first leg at London Road which finished 2-2 despite a red card for Swindon in the first-half. An own goal and a Kyle Vassell strike had put Posh in control before ‘The Robins’ hit back.

Posh trailed for much of the second leg until Britt Assombalonga equalised 15 minutes from time to send the tie into penalties. Tommy Rowe scored the vital penalty in a 4-3 shootout win and Darren Ferguson’s side went on to beat Chesterfield 3-1 in the final at Wembley.

Posh also beat Swindon 2-1 in a Trophy game at London Road in November 2005. Jamie Hand and Trevor Benjamin scored for Posh.

Swindon are enjoying an excellent season in League Two under manager Ian Holloway. They went top after drawing 1-1 at Fleetwood last weekend. Former Posh players Ryan Tafazolli and Tom Nichols are in the current Swindon squad. Tafazolli scored at Fleetwood.

Posh have beaten Wycombe Wanderers and Birmingham City in the last two Trophy finals.
