Pemi leads a fantastic fightback from Peterborough United Under 21s
Peterborough United staged a stunning comeback in their Professional Development Under 21 match at Crewe Alexandra on Monday.
Posh trailed 3-0 with 11 minutes to go, but two goals from centre forward Pemi Aderoju and one from David Kamara enabled the visitors to claim an unlikely point at the Mornflake Stadium.
Aderoju first smashed a 79th minute shot into the net before a more delicate finish made it 3-2 in the 84th-minute. A 92nd minute Posh corner then led to an almighty scramble with the ball being forced over the line following an almighty scramble.
Crewe had opened the scoring with a deflected Stan Dancey strike and Jordan Hodkin made it 2-0 before the break. Hodkin added his second goal midway through the second-half.
Aderoju, who has been on first-team duty in recent weeks, had been denied a first-half goal by a brilliant save.
Posh are two points behind Southern Section leaders Sheffield United having played two more games. The Blades lost their last match 8-6 to Huddersfield Town!
