Peterborough United manager Luke Williams commended his team's work rate following a commanding 5-1 win against Championship side Watford in the Carabao Cup on August 26, 2026. Harry Leonard scored twice, and Bolu Shofowoke added another as Peterborough established a five-goal lead with over 25 minutes remaining. The team secured this win while maintaining only 37% of possession. Williams emphasized the significance of hard work in denying Watford space despite their quick play. With the transfer window still open, Williams expressed optimism about retaining Leonard, who has already tallied four goals this season after his strong performance against Watford.
