Sunderland and Peterborough United drew 2-2 at the Stadium of Light yesterday.

Darragh MacAnthony Chairman of Peterborough United to the pre-season friendly between Peterborough and Wolverhampton Wanderers at ABAX Stadium on July 25, 2017 in Peterborough, England.

Darragh MacAnthony has suggested that Peterborough United were not lucky to get a point against Sunderland last night.

Sunderland had gone 1-0 up in the first-half, and they had much the better of the play during the opening 45 minutes.

Josh Maja finished neatly, but Sunderland wasted a number of gilt-edged chances to extend their advantage.

Jerome Sinclair and Aiden McGeady both fired wide when well placed, and Sunderland were made to pay for their profligacy.

Posh were much improved in the second half, and when Bryan Oviedo lashed out at Marcus Maddison with a high kick, the game turned.

Peterborough went on to claim a 2-2 draw, after a thrilling end to the contest.

And MacAnthony was not agreeing with Sunderland fans’ suggestions that Posh were fortunate to be leaving the Stadium of Light with a point.
