Posh, who confirmed interim boss Dan Lawlor as manager before the game, fell behind early thanks to a thunderous 30-yard strike that flew into the net.

But two goals in four minutes from Niamh Connor and Jess Driscoll saw Posh in front at the break.

Beatroz Borque’s beautiful curling effort sealed the game for Posh, although they had to survive a nervy final few minutes after Burton pulled a goal back.
