Stevenage 1-0 Peterborough United in Carabao Cup

Jamie Reid scored an added-time winner to send Stevenage through to the Carabao Cup third round as they beat League One Peterborough 1-0 at the Lamex.

Both sides came into the tie in fine form, the home team unbeaten all season and the visitors with five wins from six.

League Two Stevenage had shocked Championship side Reading 2-1 to reach this stage, while Posh won at Plymouth.

Stevenage edged the first half, although each side had a golden chance to take the lead.

Carl Piergianni flashed a clearance straight to Frankie Kent, who hit the side netting with half the goal to aim at.

Then a similar opportunity presented itself to Stevenage debutant David Amoo, but the former Liverpool youth player blazed the ball over on the stretch.

Just minutes after Jonson Clarke-Harris was brought on, fellow substitute Jack Marriott squared the ball for him to finish before Peterborough's top scorer was ruled offside.

But Stevenage nearly hit straight back, Saxon Earley denied at the far post by a flying Will Blackmore.

And in the 82nd minute, Aaron Chapman produced a sublime double save to stop Marriott.

But Reid grabbed the winner in the third minute of added time, sweeping home Luther Wilden's cross to see off Grant McCann's men.

Stevenage boss Steve Evans told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"A wonderful cup tie with two very competitive teams.

"We know what Jamie can do. The supporters know what he can do.

"When he peels off the centre-back he doesn't know where he is and he put it away with aplomb.

"If I'm being critical, it's the first time we've got to the by-line and put it right on the money."

Peterborough manager Grant McCann:

"It's frustrating. We never did what we set out to do.

"If you don't get the basics right in a football match you'll end up putting yourself in a position to lose. We did that tonight.

"We need to eradicate it. There are going to be stages in the season where we have a performance where we just don't do that. It's just the group we have.

"But it's my job as a manager and the coaching staff to try and get rid of it as much as possible.
