Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson celebrated the 100th game of his third spell in charge by making match-changing substutions in the 2-1 home League One win over Wigan Athletic yesterday (February 27).

Ferguson even won man-of-the-match nominations from happy Posh fans as did teenage substitute Harrison Burrows for a superb cross that helped Posh get back in the game. Most fans voted for two-goal Jonson Clarke-Harris though.

We asked Posh fans for a six-word summary of yesterday’s match and a man-of-the-match nomination.
