Darren Ferguson hadn't long been back at Posh for a second spell as manager when this League One humdinger took place in February, 2011. Posh trailed 3-2 at the break, but blew their visitors away in the second half. Craig Mackail-Smith and George Boyd scored twice apiece with Nathaniel Mendez-Laing also scoring.

Just 25 days after sticking five goals past Sheffield Wednesday, Posh did the same at Oldham with all the goals coming in the second half from Craig Mackail-Smith (2), David Ball, Tommy Rowe and Gaby Zakuani. Zakuani is pictured scoring his goal. Photo: David Lowndes
Posh beat Rovers 5-0 away from home in a League One game in August, 2013 and repeated the scoreline in an FA Cup tie at London Road the following December. Assombalonga hit a hat-trick in the cup tie with Shaun Jeffers scoring twice. Assombalonga is pictured scoring one of his FA Cup goals.

Manager Graham Westley had Posh playing some great football in the first-half of the 2015-16 season. They stuck five goals past Millwall, Oldham and Crewe in that time. Jermaine Anderson, who is pictured celebrating a goal at Gresty Road, scored twice at Crewe with Conor Washington, Jon Taylor and Lee Angol also on target.
