Sheffield Wednesday boss delighted to beat 'a good, well set-up side,' by nullfying their attacking threats
The table-topping Owls won for the 22nd time this season thanks to a single second-half goal deflected into his own net by Posh defender Nathan Thompson.
Moore revealed a gameplan he came up with after watching Posh draw 0-0 at home to Charlton on Tuesday worked a treat.

“We’ve beaten a really good Peterborough team, but we nullified them today thanks to the work this week in training.
“We worked on stopping them in one-v-one situations and them putting the ball in the box. That paid dividends. They’re a good team who are number one in the league for putting the ball in the box. Jonson Clarke-Harris has got all those goals because they’re so persistent in their work.
“On the flipside, in possession we were a threat in-behind.

“We have beaten a really good, well set-up team. We can feel pleased about that.”
Wednesday are now unbeaten in a club record 21 Football League matches. They are three points clear at the top with a game in hand on second-placed Plymouth Argyle.
