Peterborough recorded successive npower Championship wins at London Road for the first time since March with a comprehensive victory over 10-man Derby.

Michael Bostwick gave Posh the half-time lead before a late double from on-loan striker Saido Berahino moved Darren Ferguson’s side out of the bottom three ahead of the evening kick-off between Bristol City and Hull.

The margin of victory would have been greater for Posh had it not been for Adam Legzdins who made a handful of good saves, including Lee Tomlin’s second-half penalty. However, the Derby goalkeeper was at fault for Berahino’s first goal.

Latest Championship table, fixtures and results

The Rams struggled to create chances and their task was made more difficult at 1-0 down when they had Jake Buxton sent off.

After seeing his side record a first home league win of the season in midweek, Ferguson named an unchanged starting line-up. In fact, it was the same matchday squad that was on duty against Huddersfield on Tuesday night.

Gareth Roberts and Jeff Hendrick were restored to the Derby team after recovering from injury as Rams boss Nigel Clough made two changes.

Left-back Roberts, absent for the last three matches with a hamstring problem, replaced James O’Connor who dropped to the substitutes’ bench.

Hendrick returned to central midfield after an ankle injury kept him out of the midweek win over Ipswich. The academy product came in for Craig Bryson, who missed out completely after picking up a knock at Portman Road.

Derby defender Richard Keogh headed wide from Paul Coutts’ corner early on and Berahino went close for Peterborough with a right-foot shot midway through the first half after cutting in from the right flank.

Posh went ahead after half an hour when Bostwick fired into the top right-hand corner of the goal and had a couple of chances to immediately double their lead.

George Boyd, brilliant against Huddersfield, forced a good save from Legzdins with a 20-yard effort.

Legzdins then tipped over a shot from Berahino when the West Brom teenager threatened from the left side this time.

Conor Sammon failed to get Derby back on level terms after 40 minutes, firing wide from just six yards out.

Robinson came even closer to an equaliser five minutes after half-time when his shot from 12 yards out struck a post.

Tomlin should have put Peterborough 2-0 in front in the 57th minute after Keogh brought down Boyd inside the area but Legzdins saved the resulting penalty.

Derby’s task got more difficult when Buxton was booked for the second time in just four minutes. The centre-half’s fouls on Berahino and then Boyd resulted in him being sent off after 70 minutes.

And from the following free-kick, Legzdins produced more heroics to keep out Bostwick’s shot.

Legzdins then thwarted substitute Danny Swanson with another parrying save but he undid some of his good work with four minutes remaining when he dropped Berahino’s shot from the edge of the area over his own goalline.

Berahino added some gloss to the scoreline deep into injury time when he breached the Derby defence and raced clear to beat Legzdins once more.

Saido Berahino prêté au club de Peterborough pour la saison 2012-2013

 

Le Peterborough United Football Club est une formation anglaise de football basée à Peterborough. Ce club évolue depuis la saison 2011-2012 en Championship (deuxième division anglaise) grâce à sa  victoire historique contre Huddersfield Town en Mai 2011 à Old Trafford.

Peterborough United est entraîné par Darren Ferguson, fils de Sir Alex Ferguson, entraîneur chevronné de Manchester United. Peterborough United joue au stade de London Road dans le centre ville de Peterborough. Construit en 1913, London Road peut accueillir 15,314 spectateurs. Vous noterez que London Road est le seul stade dans la deuxième division anglaise ayant des tribunes avec des places non assises. Des travaux sont prévus pour changer cette infrastructure. Afin de se conformer aux normes des autres stades anglais.

On espère que Berahino retrouvera West Bromwich Albion en étant capable de figurer sur terrain. Son jeune âge entrevoit des lendemains qui chantent. Dans sa nouvelle équipe de Peterborough (D2 anglaise), les débuts sont positifs et prometteurs à la satisfaction du coach Darren Ferguson.

Une question tient à la gorge : le Burundi a-t-il des chances de l’aligner un jour dans son onze national ? Portera-t-il les couleurs des Hirondelles pour les échéances futures ? Entendez par là les éliminatoires de la CAN 2015 et celles du mondial 2018 ? Bien malin qui peut le dire.

Jusqu’ici, on n’a pas encore vu une volonté réelle et affichée par nos dirigeants sportifs visant à approcher les footballeurs burundais prestant en Europe et ailleurs. C’est triste d’avoir des responsables qui se fichent comme d’une guigne des intérêts majeurs de leur propre pays. Patriotisme au rancart disons-nous souvent dans nos articles !

Ne pas porter un regard attentionné sur ces dignes fils du Burundi constitue une haute trahison. Un crime qu’il faudrait réprimer quand sonnera l’heure de la vérité. Change we need pour reprendre l’expression de Barack Obama.
