TYLER GOODRHAM

Has settled into midfield role with real maturity. Pressed and harried the Posh defence all game – 8

Calming presence as the six in midfield. His wide range of passing was on show throughout – 8

RUBEN RODRIGUES

One composed finish and a delightful diving header for a deserved brace – 8.5

OWEN DALE

MARK HARRIS

Slammed his penalty home down the middle and led the United press superbly all afternoon – 8

JOSH MURPHY

Won penalty. Scored. Pace a huge threat. Crosses into box are so dangerous. Utterly brilliant. MAN OF THE MATCH – 9.5
