Peterborough United 1 - 1 Coventry: Russell Slade denied first Coventry win by late Michael Bostwick goal for Posh



Posted Sunday, January 01, 2017 by PA

New boss Russell Slade was denied his first win as Coventry boss by a last-gasp leveller in a 1-1 draw at Peterborough.

The struggling Sky Blues were on course for victory as skipper Jordan Willis converted a Chris McCann cross in the 19th minute.

While that effort did prove enough to snap a run of seven successive Sky Bet League One defeats, Michael Bostwick's dramatic equaliser denied Slade's side victory.

The hosts had been way below par in a game of very few chances. It took until the second minute of the second half for them to test Coventry keeper Lee Burge, who kept out a Lee Angol header.

Burge then saved a 25-yard rocket from Marcus Maddison before a brilliant block prevented Bostwick from slamming in the rebound.

Burge also held a late Ryan Tafazolli effort in a scramble before Bostwick headed in Maddison's cross to rescue Posh a point in the third minute of added time.
