Peterborough United thrash Northampton Town in Nene Derby
Posh won 5-1
Peterborough United have moved to within five points of the League One automatic promotion after thrashing Northampton Town 5-1.
Posh are 5th in the League One table, and five points off the automatic promotion places.
The Cobblers actually went 1-nil up at the Weston Homes Stadium in the ninth minute, with Guthrie nodding it to the back post following a cross from Leonard.
But it was Peterborough's game from then on, with Posh levelling the scores on 24 minutes as Mason-Clark tapped home from close-range after excellent work from Katongo down the right.
Three minutes later, Posh were ahead as Poku cut inside onto his left-foot and curled a superb effort into the bottom corner.
A minute before the break, Posh made it 3-1 as Randall fired home from close-range after poor defending from the visitors.
On 58 minutes, Posh made it 4-1 as a shot from Randall deflected in the air and Kyprianou was there to head home from close-range.
Five minutes later, Posh made it 5-1 as Knight found the back of the net from inside the box.
Peterborough United are on the road this weekend, heading to Burton on Saturday.
