Wycombe Wanderers have been eliminated from the EFL Trophy following a 1-1 draw against Peterborough United at Adams Park.

A Daryl Horgan strike on 59 minutes gave the Chairboys a chance to progress but a late Jonson Clarke-Harris header sent the Posh through.

Despite the outcome of the match, the fixture still went to a penalty shootout to determine who would receive the extra bonus point.

The opening half saw the visitors boss the ball as they mustered up 15 attempts on goal.

But heroic defending on top of some brilliant goalkeeping from Max Stryjek kept Wanderers in the match.

The club’s new number one was alert to deny Ephron Mason-Clark, Ronnie Edwards, Joel Randall, and Joe Tomlinson, whilst Jack Marriott headed wide as Peterborough enjoyed getting down both of Wycombe’s flanks.

Despite the onslaught of attempts, Wycombe held their own and nearly took the lead just before the break.

A long ball over the top found its way to Chris Forino, but his impromptu backheel was scrambled away by Lucas Bergstrom.

D’Mani Mellor, who was making his first start for the Chairboys since August, also nearly put the home team ahead, but his looping header from a Jack Grimmer cross went wide.

The second period began with Posh again being on the front foot, but against the run of play, it was Wycombe that took the lead.

On 59 minutes, Horgan found himself one-on-one with Peterborough keeper Lucas Bergstrom.

After being put through by Adam Leathers, the Irishmen comfortably slotted home from 10-yards.

It was only his third strike for Wycombe and his first in a competitive capacity for 381 days.

Peterborough pushed for an equaliser but Stryjek commanded his box and thwarted any attempts that came his way.

However, with eight minutes left, a Burrows cross was headed in by Clarke-Harris for his 11th of the season.

This means the Posh striker has now scored six goals in his last six games.

The match went to a penalty shoot which Wanderers won 4-3, meaning they finish the group in third with an extra point.

Up next for the Chairboys is an away trip to Buckinghamshire rivals Milton Keynes on October 22.
