Peterborough United WIN the Bristol Street Motors Trophy

Peterborough United have beaten Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 to claim the Bristol Street Motors Trophy in a tense final at Wembley.

Posh had won all three of their previous games at Wembley, making them one of the few clubs to have a 100% win-record.

Peterborough United hadn't beaten the Chairboys in the last five meeting between the two clubs.

Today's final takes Wycombe Wanderers' Wembley appearances to three in the last four years - the most out of any non-premier league team.

Match report

Neither side had the edge in the opening ten minutes, despite good early pressure from the Chairboys and Posh looking promising on the counter.

It was Wycombe who started to create more chances though, and there was a real opportunity for the Chairboys 19 minutes in when Richard Kone beat the Posh defence and put in a dangerous ball, which wasn't turned home.

The game started opening up just before the half hour mark, with both Posh and Wycombe creating dangerous opportunities in the box - but just Peterborough United goalkeeper Jed Steer was forced into a save.

A massive chance for Peterborough United's Kwame Poku came on the 37th minute, after the ball fell to him on the right-hand side of the six yard box, but his shot was charged down.

Posh then started to turn the screw, and Chairboys keeper Franco Ravizzoli was forced into a save after a long distance effort from Jadel Katongo.

Second half

Peterborough United started the second half on top, winning a string of corners in quick succession - but Wycombe Wanderers defended them well.

Another decent effort then came again for Kwame Poku after Posh broke from midfield, but the winger fired over just after the 50 minute mark.

By 70 minutes, Peterborough United still looked the better of the two teams, with Wycombe Wanderers soaking up a lot of pressure - but neither side could really test their opposition goalkeeper.

The breakthrough came at 85 minutes in, when Posh captain Harrison Burrows fired in a low, driven shot through Ravizzoli.

Posh could only hang on for a few minutes though, after substitute Dale Taylor's well-struck volley dipped past Steer.

Then, up stepped Peterborough United's captain again - whose cross from the right-hand side looped in over the Chairboys goalkeeper to restore Posh's lead.
