The Peterborough United under 21s were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur under 21s on Sunday afternoon in the latest Premier League Cup group phase fixture with Ryan Semple's men going down to two first half strikes.

After a quiet opening to the contest, which was played at the home of Stamford FC, it was the visitors who got themselves in front as a delightful cross from Jamie Donley was converted from close-range by Will LANKSHEAR.

On 35 minutes, the visitors doubled their lead as midfielder Rio KYEREMATEN fired home a swerving effort from the edge of the box. Will Van Lier was cautioned for a foul before Lankshear fired over after good work down the right-hand side.

McKnight was kept out by the trialist Posh goalkeeper before the break, while just after the interval Malik Mothersille saw a deflected effort go just wide of the target. Harley Mills was cautioned before Mothersille came close to reducing the arrears from close-range.

Roddy McGlinchey was cautioned before substitute Aaron Powell fired wide on the volley at the back post. Spurs didn't cause too many problems in the second half in terms of chances in front of goal with just a deflected Donley effort, which went wide, to report.

Posh: Trialist A, Mills, Thomas, Dreyer, Bodnar, O'Connell, Titchmarsh (sub Powell 68min), Van Lier, O'Brien-Brady (sub McGlinchey 60min), Trialist B (sub Overton 60min), Mothersille. Unused subs: West, Rose.
