Match report: Peterborough United 1-0 Arsenal U21

We’re still searching for our first win in the Leasing.com Trophy after Joe Ward’s deflected effort gave Peterborough a narrow victory.

We came close to opening the scoring when Zak Swanson forced a save from Christy Pym and Nathan Tormey’s follow-up strike flashed across the face of goal from a tight angle.

We were finding joy down the right-hand side and Swanson played Ben Cottrell into the box, but his cross somehow evaded Sam Greenwood and Tormey inside the six-yard box.

Matt Macey was called into action when Siriki Dembele weaved his way through our defence and let fly at goal, but our goalkeeper made a strong save to his left to keep it goalless.
