A game that lacked quality, but Peterborough United fans weren't complaining after a late winning goal

Peterborough United fans weren’t overly-impressed with the quality of the game...but frankly they didn’t care too much.

Posh beat Leyton Orient 1-0 at the Weston Homes Stadium on Boxing Day thanks to a 94th minute goal from substitute Declan Frith. It was a fourth League One win in a row, one that lifted Posh up to 13th in the table.
