MATCH REPORT: Six of the best as City of Peterborough earn a terrific top-of-the-table victory
A late goal from Anna Faux eventually settled an end-to-end thriller in favour of second-placed City. They remain five points behind today’s opponents in the East Division One table, but they are six points clear of third-placed Dereham in a division where the top two are promoted automatically.
The visitors, who had lost just once in 17 league matches before today, led at the break after claiming a well-worked goal, but City kept their composure and remained patient.
