Peterborough United 4-2 Crewe Alexandra

Peterborough United strengthened their grip on a League One play-off spot by plunging Crewe deeper into trouble.

Chuks Aneke curled a superb shot into the far corner for Crewe's opener.

Britt Assombalonga levelled from the spot after Harry Davis pulled back Conor Washington, before Nicky Ajose finished a slick counter-attack.

Aneke hauled Crewe level when stylishly slotting past Bobby Olejnik, but Danny Swanson rifled Posh ahead before Washington fired home for 4-2.

It topped a good day for Washington, who notched his first ever Posh goal and created two others.

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire:

"Yeah it was entertaining. I think everyone would probably go home feeling entertained, a bit more like the Posh as we're known - to score goals. I thought we should have got more than four.

"I thought we started the game very well and I think their first shot at goal becomes a sloppy goal. You can't let people turn and get shots in like that, though it was a good finish by the boy.

"The pitch is a lot better today but the better areas are certainly wide and I think I'm taking that into consideration when I'm picking teams and I think we used our width at times very well.

"What we've seen today was a lot of good football, a lot of good attacking football which was pleasing and I'm sure everyone's gone home entertained."
