Peterborough 3-0 Derby

Derby's unbeaten run came to an end at London Road as Peterborough cruised to victory against a Derby side that was clearly missing the influence of Craig Bryson in midfield.

Will Hughes was partnered in the middle by a returning Jeff Hendrick and Michael Jacobs who got the nod on the left wing.

This was a game that saw Derby create very few chances, the best being in the latter stages of the first half when a Theo Robinson effort crashed against the upright.

Adam Legzdins performed heroics in the Rams goal and the score line could have seen a greater deficit had he not been as sharp and ready as he was.

The first Posh goal came after Grant McCann's corner was volleyed in by Bostwick after half an hour.

After 57 minutes Peterborough were awarded a penalty when Keogh was adjudged to have fouled Boyd. Legzdins saved the resulting spot kick taken by Tomlin and Derby breathed again.

Their joy was not to last though. With 70 minutes gone, Buxton was harshly given a second yellow for allegedly fouling George Boyd and the Rams were reduced to ten men.

It was always going to be an uphill struggle with one man down and it proved to be the case when Berahino doubled Peterborough's lead after 84 minutes. He added another in time added on to complete Derby's misery.

A disappointing result for the Rams ahead of a tricky looking home fixture against Blackpool.
