Peterborough United’s summer signing pips his midfield mates to the man-of-the-match award
Peterborough United’s midfielders were outstanding in tonight’s (September 8) EFL Trophy game against Burton at the Weston Homes Stadium.
Summer signing Ethan Hamilton just pipped Louis Reed and Flynn Clarke to the Peterborough Telegraph man-of-the-match award as Posh won a penalty shootout 5-4 following a 3-3 draw.
Key: 10-Perfect, 9-Outstanding, 8-Very Good, 7-Good, 6-Okay, 5-Poor, 4-Very Poor
Dan Gyollai: A couple of poor mistakes led to goals, but he recovered well to make a match-winning save in the penalty shootout 5
Niall Mason: The best of the back three as he defended robustly and he popped up with a fine headed goal, his first for the club 7
Ronnie Edwards: He’s up against it physically, but he is coping. Very stylish and cool in possession 6
Frankie Kent: Made some fine clearances from crosses in the latter stages. Indifferent before then 6.5
Idris Kanu: Rampaged forward from right-wing back at every opportunity. Goes to ground too quickly when defending 6
Harrison Burrows: Very good going forward down the left. Created the third goal with an accurate cross and came close to scoring himself. Slotted his penalty home classily 7
Ethan Hamilton: Strong and powerful in the centre of midfield, while also passing the ball well. Thumped his penalty into the back of the net 8
Louis Reed: High class goal direct from a free kick and played very well, particularly in the first-half when he was at the centre of most good things. Took his penalty well 7.5
Flynn Clarke: Scored early on with the help of a goalkeeping disaster and went on to play with great skill and composure on the ball. He’s a strong lad for 17 and he stepped up to stroke home the fifth Posh penalty 7.5
Jonson Clarke-Harris: Pitched up looking much fitter and linked up play well. Showed good vision on a couple of occasions. Substituted at half-time which was planned 7
Serhat Tasdemir: He has fast feet and passes the ball accurately. Some lovely touches during a promising display 7
