Peterborough 2-1 Shrewsbury: Frankie Kent scores late winner for Posh
Tuesday 7 March 2023 22:37, UK
Frankie Kent was the late hero as Peterborough snatched a 2-1 success against Shrewsbury.
The centre-back struck in the 87th minute to earn a vital victory, heading his second goal of the campaign after substitute Kabongo Tshimanga helped a Joe Ward free-kick into his path.
The two sides clinging onto the fringes of the Sky Bet League One play-off race had earlier traded goals in the space of five first-half minutes.
The division's leading scorer Jonson Clarke-Harris headed a 19th league goal of the season after being picked out by Ward's sweet 16th-minute cross to give Posh the edge.
But the advantage proved to be short-lived as Shrewsbury soon hit back courtesy of Tom Flanagan.
