Ben White was outstanding for Posh at Northampton.

White, a Brighton player who was a substitute as Posh beat Rochdale last weekend, was a comfortable man-of-the-match as Posh beat the Cobblers 2-1 away from home.

“Ben was outstanding,” enthused Posh manager Steve Evans. “He is a top class player.

“Alex Woodyard and Rhys Bennett also played well, while George Cooper was very good in spells.”

Colin Daniel gave Posh the lead before Dean Bowditch equalised in the behind-closed-doors friendly.

Matt Stevens claimed the winning goal for Posh.

Posh: O’Malley, Lyon, Denton, Daniel, White, Bennett, Anderson, Buckley-Ricketts, Woodyard, Cooper, Stevens.
