IAN Evatt believes his side was well-worth three points against Peterborough United – even if they had to wait until the last seconds to snatch the result.

Klaidi Lolos chested home the winning goal in the 98th minute after Dion Charles had a penalty saved by Nicholas Bilokapic, sparking joyous scenes at the Toughsheet.

Wanderers had swarmed the Peterborough goal for most of the game, missing some gilt-edged chances, and looked to be heading for a somewhat frustrating point.

“Sometimes in football you don’t get what you deserve but today we got what we deserved,” Evatt said after the game.

“That was a performance which resembles what we have created this last four or five years. We passed and moved the ball well, created so many chances, frustratingly we didn’t take them, but it would have been easy for the players to feel sorry for themselves and back off because of the chances we’d missed and see the game through but they kept going, kept believing.

“We deserved to win that game and to keep a clean sheet against a team which are so dangerous. That front four – I thought we kept them really quiet, in general, they had one or two moments but they are bound to do, they are top players.

“But this was a clean sheet and a victory that was thoroughly deserved with a performance which resembles, it’s very pleasing.”

Posh boss Darren Ferguson complained that referee Ollie Yates should have ended the game after Bilokapic saved the initial penalty from Charles.

Evatt felt, however, that his side should have had at least one other spot kick awarded, with George Johnston and Ricardo Santos both feeling they had been shoved earlier in the second half.

“I thought we should have had one or two penalties more, some of the holding and grappling was persistent and facing away from the ball. It should have been punished,” he said.

“The last one is a penalty and so were the two before it but I am not going to concentrate on any type of negativity today because I thought that was a really good performance and I was pleased with what my players did.”

Lolos was injured on his debut at Leyton Orient back in August and his second-half appearance from the bench was his first in the league since.

Evatt was delighted to see his summer signing score his first for the club.

“Klaidi has missed a large period and worked really hard to get himself back. He trained well this week and I wanted to get him on and see how he could get through the minutes, if we could create something, because he is a goal-scorer,” he said.

“He was there, right man, right place, right time.”

Evatt served the final game of his touchline suspension and had a bird’s eye view of the drama unfolding on the pitch.

“The gantry has taken some hammer,” he said. “I’m just glad I’m a bit lighter now.

“To be honest I was just happy with the way the players were playing, we looked in a good place. The way we controlled the ball and the game, we were dominant in possession, we had 24 shots, 11 on target, it is much more like us as a team.

“It was important post-Birmingham to react to a defeat with a victory. To do that against a good team that has just won 5-1 against Blackpool, a confident and dangerous team, of all the games we have had – and we have had some good games against Peterborough – that was the most dominant. I was really satisfied with that performance.”
