City started strongly and were 2-0 ahead inside eight minutes despite the presence of recent first-team goalkeeper Fynn Talley between the sticks.

A diving header from recent signing Pemi Aderoju from an excellent Donay O’Brien-Brady on 17 minutes halved the deficit, but City scored just before the break and just after it to complete a convincing victory.

Talley enhanced his reputation as a penalty-saving expert by thwarting City from the spot in the first-half.

First team matchday squad regular Jacob Wakeling also played.

Posh are next in action in the Premier League Cup at Spurs next Saturday (Feb 3).

Posh: Talley, Rose, Powell, Van Lier, Thomas, O’Connell, Kawa (Sub Chiha, 46 mins), O’Brien-Brady, Aderoju, Wakeling, Corbett. Subs: Sakalas, Lamb, Titchmarsh, McWilliams, Marcano.
