Dembele created the first Posh goal in a 2-0 win for Nathan Thompson and generally ran riot all afternoon.

Zakuani was at the game working as a match summariser for BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

Professional display from Posh. Dembele frightening. They just couldn’t deal with his trickery all game. Beevers solid, Thompson vry impressive. Second half very stop start, but job done. First away win and clean sheet. Tommy will be loving this up there!

@Gabs50Zakuani

Kent and Brown were particularly good in the second-half. The former won every header and the latter is crucial to our promotion chances with his sharp passing. Always good fun having Dembele and Thompson in the team.

Good performance, rarely troubled defensively and a clean sheet. Thompson & Dembele best 2 players on the pitch. Could have been 2/3 up at half time.

Dominant & battling derby day display - Beevers for MOM (after Dembele), but you could make a case for about 6 or 7 others.

@ReportPosh

Professional performance, Dembele unplayable at times,

@BryanWoodend

Dembele unplayable, Brown unsung hero. We love playing Cobblers.

@amwright40

Cobblers were poor, Posh did enough. Man of the match for me was Thompson.

@matthewferro85

Dembele’s going to need some help.

@Fig428

Cobblers again in the Posh shadow.

@Bully1934

Didn’t get out of second gear. Pym’s crucial save turned the game fully our way.

Cobblers knobbled, made to wobble and eventually gobbled up by superior Posh.

@TobyWoody

Surprised nobody has mentioned Ward. Found plenty of space today and lost count of the amount of times be brought the ball down and started attacks. Beevers and Brown also very good.
