Peterborough 4 Walsall 2 - George Bennett analysis

Transcript

00:00Good evening Sadler's fans on Pipside at London Road where Walsall have just fallen to a 4-2

00:07defeat against League One side Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy Round of 16. So their

00:16adventure in this competition is officially over and Matt Sadler made eight changes from

00:23the club record-breaking 5-1 victory over Tramlia Rovers at Bescott on Saturday with

00:30only David Akagbewe, Oshin McKenzie and Taylor Allen retaining their places and

00:37Peterborough who made five changes from their last game

00:41took the lead inside seven minutes when Gustav Lindgren found himself

00:47free on the edge of the box and tucked his finish past Sam Hornby who got two gloves to the ball

00:56but was unable to stop it from nestling into the far corner. David Akagbewe was then adjudged to

01:03have fouled to offender Fernandes inside the box and Motherseal stepped up to the spot to double

01:10Peterborough's advantage but Danny Johnson halved the deficit on the half hour mark. Albert Adoma

01:17chased a ball into the channel from Charlie Lakin and squared for Johnson slightly behind him but

01:23managed to find his feet and rifled the ball into the top corner but within 90 seconds Peterborough

01:31had restored their two goal lead with Lindgren on his first start for the club scoring his second

01:38of the evening. Walsall in that second half flew out of the traps a much improved performance after

01:46what was a poor first half display. Rico Brown crashed a header against the post. Charlie Lakin

01:54forced the Peterborough goalkeeper into a number of impressive stops. Danny Johnson also at the end

02:01of that first half actually had a great opportunity which he struck straight at the Peterborough

02:05goalkeeper. He then skewed one wide at the start of the second half but Peterborough eventually

02:14found the fourth despite the fact that Walsall were the strongest side really in that second

02:20half but Motherseal bagged his brace with 15 minutes left on the clock and that kind of sealed

02:27the deal really then for Peterborough but Walsall still had chances. Lakin forced another couple of saves

02:32and the goalkeeper Josh Gordon came on after returning from four months on the sidelines with

02:38a hamstring injury forced a couple of good saves and then he got a late consolation to score his

02:44second of the campaign his first obviously since his return after just 18 minutes on the pitch

02:50closed down the Peterborough goalkeeper and the ball came off his back looped into the net but

02:55it merely proved consolation as Walsall lose 4-2 here this evening.
