It finished 0-0 as Posh went close to claiming the points on several occasions during a strong finish to the game.

Captain Kyle Barker and forward Gabe Overton both saw goalbound shots superbly blocked before Joe Taylor struck the post with a fierce drive.

Taylor had also been denied by a fine save in the first-half after robbing a defender and racing into the penalty area.
