Kwame Poku showcased his football prowess by scoring and assisting in Peterborough’s 3-2 win against Derby County.
The match kicked off with a lightning-quick start, as James Collins, within the opening 30 seconds, nodded home a cross from the right, setting the stage for an intense battle. Derby County continued to press, with Mason-Clark firing over in the 13th minute after a commendable effort from Harrison Burrows.
It was Burrows himself who sparked the turnaround for Peterborough, leveling the score with a deflected left-foot strike that nestled into the bottom corner of the net, thanks to a well-timed assist from the Kwame Poku.
As the game approached the 58th minute, drama unfolded as Derby was awarded a penalty after Kyprianou was adjudged to have handled in the area. Talley’s brilliant save denied James Collins, but the striker made no mistake with the rebound, restoring Derby’s lead.
Undeterred, Peterborough United clawed their way back into contention in the 83rd minute, courtesy of Kwame Poku’s extraordinary header. Poku’s finesse and timing were on full display as he looped the ball into the bottom corner after an exquisite delivery from Burrows.
The climax of the match came in the dying moments, as Ricky-Jade Jones fired home on the spin, securing the much-needed victory for Darren Ferguson’s men.
