WELLINGTON-BORN footballer Tom Nichols scored at the home of the Premier League leaders, as his side Peterborough United took on Chelsea in the FA Cup third round.

Nichols' goal proved a consolation for Posh, however, as the top flight side won 4-1 at Stamford Bridge despite John Terry's sending off.

The former Twyford Saints and Exeter City player, who scored for Exeter against Liverpool in last season's competition, joined Peterborough in February 2016.

Pedro, Michy Batshuayi and Willian gave Antonio Conte's big boys a 3-0 lead with 52 minutes played, but Terry's red card in the 67th minute for bringing down Lee Angol as the last man gave Posh a boost.

Nichols, 23, then scored three minutes later, prodding in from six yards after Angol touched on Michael Smith's cross from the right.

But Pedro scored his second to kill the game off and see Chelsea into the fourth round for the 19th season in a row.
