Super slow-mo footage of a Luton Town goal as Peterborough United playing out from the back goes badly wrong.
Mads Andersen’s header and Jordan Clark’s late goal secured a 2-0 victory for the Hatters, maintaining their perfect start with six points from two matches, while for the Posh, it’s two defeats from two.
Despite early chances for both sides, Luton went in front through just before the hour mark with Andersen’s header from a George Saville corner.
Clark then sealed the win in the 85th minute, capitalising on a defensive error and Peterborough’s goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic, with a clip getting thousands of views.

Posh boss Darren Ferguson said, per Peterborough Telegraph: “We give goals away that I have seen too many times. I am seeing too many similarities to last season. It is my job to do something about that. The quality is not there at the moment. You’d hope it improves. The way we play hasn’t changed
“We’ve lost Kwame Poku and we’ve recruited a right winger, we’ve recruited a left winger to challenge Abraham Odoh, but the ones that have had a season with us now need to progress and improve. The ones that have just come in, it’s slightly different for them.
“I’m not panicking because we are only two games into a season, but our wide players need to produce and if they don’t I have to look at doing something different, whether we have recruited for that or not. We’re nowhere near that point yet though.
“They are having a go though but the quality is just not there. We can’t keep saying ‘when we had this player or that player.’ We are not going to have a player of Poku or Ephron Mason-Clark’s quality. The new lads are not anywhere near that level at the moment, but we need to keep working with them to get them to that level. We were privileged to have those players.
“Some of the players are better than what they showed and I have to take the positives. I did like the look of the midfield. We’ve got Klaidi Lolos close and in the first half, we dealt with them well and we were good. Anyone at the game would be thinking that was a much better performance and now I need to find out why we are starting second halves poorly.
“I was pleased first half. We were the better team. We got a lot more control in possession than we did last week. We got our wide players into some very good positions and our three midfielders were very good, but you win and lose games in both boxes. Going forward, we did not have enough quality and then we conceded poor, poor goals.
“In the second half, we started poorly again. We gave the ball away too much, they got a bit of momentum and we couldn’t get any control of the game after that.
“They are very poor goals to concede, For the first one, one of our men loses one of theirs and it’s a free header. That let them get on top. With the second, the the weight of the pass was a problem and the ball was played to Nick’s weaker foot, but then he should just boot it into the stand. I’ve never seen a goal scored from the stand.”
Peterborough’s David Okagbue said, told the Posh Plus service, per Peterborough Telegraph: “In the first-half we played really well.
“We even started the second-half better than we did at Cardiff in the previous game. We knew what we had to do and we did it, but a goal from a set-piece changed the game.
“It was my fault. Their player has ‘done’ me and he scored. And then they came at us and we struggled with the pressure they put us under. We couldn’t get a foothold in the game and they pressed the life out of us. We didn’t seem to play with the same energy and let them come on to us too much.
“They had runners everywhere and we didn’t execute what we had worked on as we knew how they would play. In the first-half of both games so far we have shown what we are about, but we need to fix this second-half problem and stop showing teams too much respect. They scored again late on and we just couldn’t get back into the game.
“We felt the game was there for us at half-time, but that set-piece changed everything and we ended up conceding two horrible goals. We are not a million miles away and we will get there. We will continue to believe in the way we play.
“I loved the noise from the crowd on in my first experience at the ground though. The fans were loud and kept us going, Hopefully they will keep backing us and we will get where we need to be.”
Here’s how fans reacted to slow-mo footage of Luton scoring their second goal as Peterborough playing out from the back goes badly wrong…
@WeAreThePaxton: Defender to blame here for the awful pass at pace to goalkeeper’s weaker foot.
@aplin87: Teams like Peterborough trying to play out from the back, Guardiola has inadvertently put football back years in this country 🤦♂️😂
@rickyj555: The obsession with playing out from the back when you don’t have the calibre of players to do it drives me crazy. It would interesting to see some stats around completely avoidable goals like this per season v benefits
@pufcposhblog: This just sums it all up dosent it
@luca99messina: As soon as Nevett came on, everyone in the London Road end knew the game was done. #pufc
@CPFC_Z: ‘Let’s keep it tight at the back lads nothing silly’
@bengreenPTV: He really is the worst goalie I’ve ever seen in professional football. The error catalogue is now so big it’s not even funny
@LutonLeanne: It was very poor but he wasn’t helped by the poor pass back to him either
@calebposh:
Bilo in this situation:
-doesn’t boot it clear
-doesn’t dive at the players feet to get the ball
-stands there making minimal effort to get back after shimmying in front of the player with the ball??
i know that was an absolutely horrific pass back to him, but my god.. #pufc
@ShiellB1: The pass is terrible but Bilo makes it a hundred times worse. Just read that Luton’s manager knew to target him because the same thing happened away at Wycombe. He really is hopeless.
@saunds98:
1. Does Nevett not have a right foot.
2. Does Bilo not have a left foot.
3. Why does Bilo not clear it first time.
@HoppersGuide: This is what happens week in, week out, all across the land. Coaches and managers are asking players to play like prime Barcelona, or Pep’s Citeh and it’s ridiculous. Blame the coaches who can’t think for themselves and have to follow trends, not the players
@44Djt: The amount of ridiculous goals you see scored at all levels with teams having become so obsessed with “playing out” makes you question unless (elite) is the risk really equal to the reward.
@Villasince82: Guardiola has ruined football.
@Don_Falcone2: Everyone needs to remember to copy Pep Guardiola, you need the players for it 🤦 you don’t play out from the back with a lower league defence. Ridiculous 😅🤣🤣🤣
@AO1865: What in the Ethan Horvath is going on here
@ihalliwell: Fergi must be wondering what was going on in there heads , two terrible passess and touches ended up in a Luton goal , well done wells and clicker for tracking them down
