JAMES TRAFFORD…7. Had no save but the way he cleared around his own penalty was impressive. Always ready to sweep all the other passes that won the back three. GETHIN JONES…7.5. He hit the post with a superb header and kept lively youngster Ricky-Jade Jones to a minimum. In good shape. RICARDO SANTOS…7.5. Facing off against his old employers and up against one of the heavy hitters in the division in Clarke-Harris, Santos looked poised to make a big play. And he delivered. GEORGE JOHNSTON…7. He saw a lot of the ball and used it well. The only down side of the day was that he occasionally got carried away with some of the aggro in the penalty area. CONOR BRADLEY….7. Always an outlet on the right and while he’ll be kicking himself for the opportunity that fell to him, Harrison Burrows will be happy to see the back of him. MJ WILLIAMS…8. This was a roll-up-your-sleeves day in the midfield and Williams first came close enough to every ball dropped in the middle third. GEORGE THOMASON…8.5. Since returning to the team against Charlton Thomason he has taken his game to a whole different level. They took out orders, won challenges, sprayed passes around. Super. JACK IREDALE…7. He really got into the thick of it, finishing with a dead leg that forced him off the field. I had to watch the difficult Poku and he did a good job. KYLE DEMPSEY…7.5. Big game for the all-action midfielder, replacing Kieran Lee, and he didn’t disappoint. He got into challenges and pushed hard to deal with errors from the Posh back line. ELIAS KATSUNGA. Only one of Kachunga’s 28 touches was actually inside the box – but it was a day for hard work and smart running, and the experienced forward did both with buckets. DION CHARLES…7. He rarely had a sniff of goal, but played a fine pass for Bradley to slot past and worked the visitors’ defenders hard all afternoon. Receivers: Afolayan 7.70 (for Dempsey) – Grab the winner and tackle. Bodvarsson 6.5, 70 (for Kachunga) – Good to see him again. Sadlier 78 (for Iredale) – Another slot for the collection!

Peterborough: Bergstrom 7.5, Thompson 6, Knight 6, Edwards 6, Burrows 5; Fuchs 6, Taylor 6.5, Thompson 6.5; Poku 6, Clarke-Harris 6, Jones 6. Subs: Mason-Clark 5, 61 (for Jones), Warda 5, 62 (for Poku), Marriott 88 (for Taylor), Kyprianou 88 (for Fuchs). Not used: Blackmore, Kent, Tomlinson.
