Malik Mothersille’s missed penalty proves costly for Peterborough

Malik Mothersille scored one penalty and missed another as Peterborough played out a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton.

Posh goalkeeper Will Blackmore produced a string of fine saves to keep the visitors at bay, denying both John McAtee and Joel Randall early on.

The first penalty came when Mothersille was dragged to the ground in the 17th minute and he stepped up to fire home the opener.

After being booked for his celebration, the midfielder saw a header kept out by Luke Southwood in the visitors’ net.

Chris Forino levelled just after the half-hour mark when he poked home from close range.

Mothersille was brought down again in the box but saw a second spot-kick pushed wide by Southwood in the 65th minute.

Blackmore did well to keep out McAtee with 10 minutes to go before he rattled a post late on.

Aaron Collins poked wide in stoppage time for Bolton as the points were shared.
