Peterborough 2-0 Fleetwood: Jack Marriott scores again for Posh

Peterborough snapped a four-match losing run when enjoying a final home hurrah by beating Fleetwood 2-0.

League One's leading scorer Jack Marriott and George Cooper provided the second-half goals at the ABAX Stadium.

Marriott produced a fine full-stretch finish six minutes into the second half to register his 33rd goal of a prolific campaign.

And Cooper sealed the points with 12 minutes to go when delivering an exquisite finish to a fine cross from recently-introduced substitute Danny Lloyd.

Only the woodwork prevented Posh, who have faded out of play-off contention, from winning far more emphatically.

Anthony Grant blasted against the underside of the crossbar early on before Fleetwood goalkeeper Chris Neal reacted smartly to tip a mis-directed header from Ashley Eastham against the bar.

Gwion Edwards saw Neal fumble his rocket shot against the bar just before the hour.

Fleetwood full-back Lewis Coyle was also frustrated by the woodwork when curling a stoppage-time effort against the angle of post and bar.
