Peterborough United fans thrilled with three points against 'hack and slash' Cambridge United and midfielder ran away with the man-of-the-match poll
They followed up a 3-0 win at Blackpool that booked a place in the EFL Trophy Final Wembley with a 1-0 Derby Day win at Cambridge United.
It was the first Football League win at the Abbey Stadium for 36 years and one that was thoroughly deserved according to the visiting supporters who almost all nominated the same Posh man-of-the-match.

Hide AdDeserved win. Wasteful again, but 3 points is all that matters. Collins MOM. His best showing in a Posh shirt. Outstanding – @clarkbatfan
Lovely to feel great on a Saturday afternoon … before 3 o’clock - @TobyWoody
Made hard work of that with the amount of missed chances – @razorblue
Cambridge gritty, tough to breakdown. Collins outstanding, Randall unplayable again. Our play wasn’t the best, but kudos to Cambridge for not allowing Posh to settle – @Trustchairman

Hide AdNot a bad week at the office. Semi final and derby day wins. Posh are back. MOM Collins – @DazMoody
It was a walk in the park that, towards the end, felt more uphill than it needed to be. MOM Burrows – @eamonnduff
Cambridge hacked and slashed, but had no quality. We played pretty, but were wasteful, although did enough to win. Collins exceptional. Should have been 3-0 but 3 points is all that matters – @Mattmecham
Collins phenomenal performance, carried on from Tuesday and let's hope we have an unbeaten March – @Deedz42

Hide AdIt’s been a fantastic week for Posh. Without trying to sound negative I’m still slightly concerned on how wasteful we are in front of goal mind you. Our possession is unbelievable, it’s a shame about the finishing – @ChrisCook007
Results went our way today. Feels like six points gained! MOM Archie Collins – @MichaelRutkows4
