Piroe the hero

JOEL PIROE continued his red-hot streak for Swansea as Russell Martin got one over his old boss Darren Ferguson.

Piroe’s ninth goal of the season helped Swansea head coach Martin to victory over the side he used to play for.

Ntcham also found the back of the net for the Swans.

“We gave up a couple of chances in the first half which we were a bit annoyed about but apart from that we were outstanding,” said Martin.

“Piroe’s in a really good vein of form. He’s enjoying himself, he’s feeling very confident, and some of his actions off the ball today were incredible.”

Swansea scored after just 77 seconds. Ryan

Bennett’s long ball found Ethan Laird who went racing up the touchline. The defender whipped the ball into the path of Bidwell who tapped it into the net.

Piroe’s powerful shot from the edge of the box beat Peterborough goalkeeper David Cornell to put the Swans 2-0 up.

Swansea dominated the first half with the visitors unable to cope with their pace and passing game.

And the Welsh club turned around with a 3-0

lead after Ntcham drilled his low shot past the Posh defence.

“It was a horrendous start and at that point you are just trying to stay in the game,” said Peterborough boss Ferguson. “There were lapses in concentration and if you give the ball away in a terrible area teams will punish us.

“As we’ve seen this season teams don’t need many opportunities to punish you in this league with the quality they’ve got.

“If you press too much at times, they’ll pop around you, if you sit off them you are letting them have the ball.”
