LOAN WATCH: Man Utd's Petrucci hits 25-yard stunner for Peterborough

Davide Petrucci has opened his scoring account for Peterborough United with a sublime half-volley on the weekend which gave his side a 2-1 win over Leicester City at London Road.

The 21-year old Italian midfielder, who joined the Posh on loan from Manchester United in early January, drew his new club level in the 74th minute when he struck a 25-yard effort past Kasper Schmeichel following Ben Marshall's opener early in the second half.

Grant McCann completed Peterborough's comeback with two minutes remaining allowing the bottom-of-the-table club to enhance their survival chances as promotion-chasing Leicester remained second.
