Mackail-Smith has now scored 10 goals in the FA Cup over two seasons

Peterborough United striker Craig Mackail-Smith admits he loves the FA Cup after his third-round heroics.

Mackail-Smith claimed a last-minute equaliser as Posh forced a replay with top-flight side West Brom on Saturday.

The 24-year-old told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I just love the FA Cup, you get to play against teams like West Brom at their own grounds.

"It's a dream come true, and I've just to keep doing what I'm doing and finding the back of the net."

Mackail-Smith has now scored three times in the FA Cup this season, having bagged seven goals in the competition last year.

Peterborough will should fancy their chances of progressing into the fourth round after dominating at the Hawthorns in their 1-1 draw.

"That's the best we've played since I've been here, we got the ball down," the former Dagenham & Redbridge man said.

"It was pass and move, we matched them all the way and could have nicked it."

Posh will host either Burnley or Queens Park Rangers should they overcome the Baggies.
