Peterborough 3-3 Barnsley (7-6 pens): Jones seals dramatic shoot-out win after Ormerod's late header (highlights)Peterborough United booked their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup for the first time since 2009 after a dramatic 7-6 penalty shoot-out victory over Barnsley at the Weston Homes Stadium, following a pulsating 3-3 draw. Barnsley were gifted the lead after just 61 seconds when Peterborough goalkeeper Alex Bass was charged down by Cameron McGeehan, with the Tykes captain nodding in after the ball came off the bar. Peterborough equalised in the 19th minute when Lucca Mendonca's cross was pushed out by Barnsley goalkeeper Kieran Flavell as far as Harry Leonard, who prodded in. The hosts completed the turnaround on 27 minutes when Harley Mills' free-kick was headed in by the unmarked Danny Ormerod. But Barnsley were level five minutes before half-time when Reyes Cleary beat Mendonca with ease down the left before placing his shot into the bottom corner. The visitors looked to have won it when Cleary bent in his second on 74 minutes, but Ormerod sent the tie to penalties by heading in Mills' cross with just two minutes remaining. After 12 successful spot-kicks, a tame effort from Barnsley's Luke Alker was saved by Bass, giving Harrison Jones the chance to send the hosts through, which he dispatched. Barnsley dominated with 28 shots and 53% possession, while Peterborough managed 14 attempts. Ormerod was named man of the match. Peterborough advance to the fourth round, while Barnsley exit the competition. EnglandMenFootball |
