Coventry City 1-1 Peterborough United
- Published
Conor Chaplin hit an instant late equaliser as Coventry City ended their three-match losing run in all competitions by holding third-placed Peterborough United to a draw at the Ricoh Arena.
After wasting a string of earlier chances, Ivan Toney stunned City with a 90th-minute strike, keeping his cool by easing home with his left instep for a finish that would have lifted Posh up to second place in League One.
But, straight from the kick-off, Amadou Bakayoko set up Chaplin for his fourth league goal of the season.
Posh had the better of a goalless first half, forcing the better chances to break the deadlock.
Jack Grimmer's great cover tackle denied Marcus Maddison before City keeper Lee Burge made three key saves, twice denying Toney, as well as saving with his legs from Matt Godden.
Coventry looked more menacing after the break and they should have scored when Luke Thomas won the ball on the halfway line, did all the hard work by dribbling his way into the area, but failed to find the finish.
Toney should have put Posh ahead when he somehow steered his close-range header wide from Tyler Denton's cross.
But, after he did finally find the target late on, Mark Robins' Sky Blues showed great spirit - particularly after another knee injury late on for Jodi Jones - to level and lift themselves up to sixth in League One.
