Peterborough United 1-1 Walsall

Michael Bostwick's penalty gave him his first goal for Peterborough this season

Michael Bostwick's late penalty helped 10-man Peterborough rescue a draw against second-placed Walsall.

After a first half of few chances, Romaine Sawyers thundered in a 25-yard strike to put the Saddlers ahead.

Posh midfielder Jermaine Anderson was sent off with five minutes left in the second half, having appeared to throw a drinks bottle into the crowd.

But Bostwick denied Walsall the three points by firing in from the spot after he was fouled by keeper Neil Etheridge.

Walsall boss Dean Smith told BBC WM:

"I'm actually standing here feeling deflated, it feels like a defeat, because how we haven't won that I don't know.

"We took the lead with a great strike, we were in control of the game for long periods, but probably didn't work their goalkeeper as much as we should.

(On facing Chelsea in the League Cup on Wednesday) "I'm looking forward to it. Wednesday should be a really good night and hopefully we can get the ground rocking and pull off a shock."
