Sheffield Wednesday’s stunning comeback against Peterborough in the League One semi-final second leg was aided by “Fergie time”, according to Jamie Carragher.
Wednesday made history by overturning a four-goal first-leg deficit at Hillsborough on Thursday night, winning 5-4 on penalties after the tie finished 5-5 on aggregate after extra-time. Peterborough led 4-0 from the first leg, but were taken into extra-time by Liam Palmer’s 98th-minute goal.
Peterborough edged ahead through Lee Gregory’s own goal before Callum Paterson equalised to make it 5-1 on the night and send the game to penalties. Posh defender Dan Butler was the only player to miss as Jack Hunt found the top corner to send Wednesday through to face Barnsley or Bolton in the play-off final at Wembley.
