​Corbett’s 77th minute strike from 22 yards was the final goal in a decent contest which saw the visitors take a lead in the third minute, with Posh goalkeeper Will Blackmore leaving the game a minute later.

Posh equalised that early goal thanks to an own goal three minutes after the re-start, although the young Lions went back in front within five minutes.
