Paul Taylor's volley nine minutes from time ensures Peterborough share the spoils with Middlesbrough.

Paul Taylor's volley nine minutes from time grabbed Peterborough United a draw against Middlesbrough at London Road this afternoon.

Matthew Bates's header soon after half time looked set to give visiting Boro the win but for Taylor's effort.

After a goalless first period, defender Bates headed home Tony McMahon's corner in the 53rd minute.

Taylor rescued a point for Posh, who are a free-scoring side on their own turf, with the right-foot volley from the edge of the area in the 81st minute.

The home side remain the only team in the Football League to not keep a clean sheet this campaign.

Both sides remain where they started the day in terms of league position with Darren Ferguson's Posh in 12th while Tony Mowbray's side are fourth, seven points behind leaders Southampton.
