Last updated 27th Feb 2025
It feels good to be a Peterborough United fan this morning.
It's after the Posh secured a second Wembley appearance in 2 years as they beat Wrexham last night to reach the final of the football league trophy.
They travelled to Wrexham to face the side co owned by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds.
Not many people gave Peterborough much hope yet they triumphed following a penalty shootout.
The game finished 2 all and that meant penalties
The game seemed to be going against the Posh as they reached half time 2 nil down.
That continued to be the score until the last 20 minutes.
Then there was the comeback - Cian Hayes was brought down by the keeper and Malik Mothersille converted the resulting penalty.
And in injury time Posh fans celebrated as substitute Bradley Ihionvien got the equaliser.
The game finished 2 all and that meant penalties.
It was a tense time for fans but Peterborough ran out 4-2 winners.
Peterborough now face Birmingham City in the final in April.
Posh manager Darren Fergusson told the club's twitter account:
They're heroes to everyone of these Posh fans tonight
"I'm so proud of them - for a fans it's a big one."
"Because they've had a tough season - like all of us."
"At least out of this season they're getting a trip to Wembley."
We spoke to fans afterwards.
"They're heroes to everyone of these Posh fans tonight."
"We expected nothing and we've taken home everything - bring on Birmingham."
"Good to see some spirit for them - there were questions about them but they showed that tonight."
"Hopefully we can be the underdogs for the final as well and go there and win. "
We also spoke to Harley Mills dad Gary - his son took one of the penalties.
"Delighted for him - he said yesterday he was going to take one so when he stood up and took the penalty I was quite nervous but thankfully he put it away."
"Great team performance - pleased for everyone concerned with Peterborough United."
