Dagenham's Mark Nwokeji was on target in a shock 1-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy success at Peterborough.

Daggers advance to next round of Johnstone's Paint Trophy

Mark Nwokeji made sure Dagenham's marvellous start to the season continued with a shock 1-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy success at Peterborough. Daggers boss John Still enjoyed a triumphant return to London Road by dumping out League One big spenders Posh - a team he managed for 18 months in the mid 1990s. Nwokeji's 65th-minute header from a cross by substitute John Strevens was enough to settle this Southern Section second-round tie. Hosts Posh had a Micah Hyde goal disallowed for offside early in the second half and then were guilty of squandering golden opportunities after falling behind. Welsh international defender Craig Morgan steered a free header wide from just six yards before former Dagenham striker Craig Mackail-Smith blazed wastefully wide with only goalkeeper Tony Roberts to beat. Shane Huke and Strevens both went close to doubling Dagenham's lead, but one goal proved enough.
