A mistake by keeper Lewis cost Peterborough all three points

Peterborough goalkeeper Joe Lewis' late mistake cost his side the chance to go top as bottom club Cheltenham earned a precious point at London Road.

Aaron Mclean broke the deadlock nine minutes before the interval when he converted Craig Mackail-Smith's cross from close range.

Earlier Posh striker McLean had seen a shot rebound off both posts.

Victory looked certain before Lewis allowed a cross-shot from David Hutton to squirm under his body.

However, Cheltenham could still be relegated as early as Monday evening if results, including their own, go against them.
