Peterborough United 2 Doncaster Rovers 1: Grant McCann loses on Posh return

Grant McCann’s return to London Road ended in defeat as Peterborough United moved into the FA Cup third round with a 2-1 win against Doncaster Rovers after surviving a late fightback.

Harrison Burrows opened the scoring after just three minutes with an incredible piece of luck that saw his cross from the left sail over everyone and bounce into the top-right corner.

Kwame Poku and Ricky-Jade Jones both wasted great one-on-one opportunities to add to the lead in the first half but it was Ephron Mason-Clark, a McCann signing, that added the second after 53 minutes.

After picking up the ball on the right of the box, he cut inside and hit a brilliant curling effort right into the bottom corner.
