Report | Swansea City U18s 3 Peterborough United U18s 3

Swansea City Under-18s had to settle for a point after a thrilling contest against Peterborough United in their first home Professional Development League fixture.

Striker Harvey Gray got his second goal in as many games, whilst Ramon Rees-Siso bagged a brace for the hosts.

The visitors twice came from behind, before taking the lead through Andre Chungunda in the 87th minute, but Rees-Siso' free-kick rescued a point for the Swans in stoppage time.

Coach Jarred Harvey had fielded a youthful squad with Gray, 14-year-old Alex Godfrey and Kai Rhodes named in the starting XI, whilst Alfie Jones, Carter Heywood, Bobo Evans, Kaven Bloniarczyk and Elis Thomas made up the bench. 

The Swans started brightly, Rhodes burst into space down the left-hand side and delivered for Rees-Siso, whose effort was deflected out for a corner. 

Rhodes was soon involved again as he received a brilliant ball from Osian Williams, but Posh’s Thomas Unwin made a crucial intervention as Rhodes looked to pick out Rees-Siso in the box. 

However, Swansea opened the scoring with 15 minutes played, Gray finishing from close range after being teed up by an Aidan Higgins lay-off.

The Swans controlled possession but needed Sam Seager to save when Max Beech looked to take advantage of a scramble in the box. 

Seager was tested again moments later, Bolu Shofuwoke picked his way into the area and forced the Swans stopper to parry his effort away for a corner.

But the equaliser did arrive when Changunda broke into space and teed up Joe Davies to rifle a strike into the net.

The scores were level for barely three minutes before Swansea re-established their lead, Rees-Siso picking the ball up to curl a wonderful strike over Benjamin Westcott and give the home side the interval lead.

Peterborough came out of the blocks quickly at the start of the second half, Changunda and Shofuwoke both having close-range shots blocked.

And the Posh did bring the themselves back level within five minutes of the restart. Davies again finding the net with a long-distance strike.

The play continued to sweep from end to end, but the visitors had the next big chances as Shofuwoke went clean through on goal only for Seager to make a crucial save, before Evans saw his effort from distance parried by Westscott.

Boro's Changunda and Shofuwoke continued to cause problems for the Swansea defence, and they combined to help the visitors take the lead as the latter tapped in with just three minutes remaining. 

But Rees-Siso stepped up in stoppage time to dispatch an excellent free-kick into the net and ensure the spoils were shared.
