Crewe Alexandra 1-5 Peterborough United

Jermaine Anderson scored twice, to take his tally to four in five games for the Posh

Midfielder Jermaine Anderson's double helped Peterborough to a 5-1 victory at League One bottom side Crewe.

After Jon Taylor scored from an Anderson cross to give the visitors a 1-0 half-time lead, Posh scored three times in nine minutes.

Conor Washington smashed in after Erhun Oztumer dinked the ball over the top, then Anderson netted his first.

Lee Angol made it four before Ryan Colclough's consolation, before Anderson completed the scoring.

The Alex suffered their third straight home defeat, their 11th in 18 league games, prompting some fans to call for boss Steve Davis's departure - in the week he celebrated four years in charge at Gresty Road.

It was the second time this year that Crewe have shipped five goals at home, having been beaten 5-0 by MK Dons in January.

Crewe manager Steve Davis told BBC Radio Stoke:

"It was a horrible afternoon for everyone. There were not any positives to take from the game, aside from possibly Ryan Colclough's goal because it was a terrific strike.

"Every game this season we have been in it, up to a point, but we weren't today and that is the most disappointing thing.

"We started the second half slow and and bang, bang, bang before we knew it, it's 4-0. It is extremely hard after that and I was disappointed with all aspects of our play after that.

"In possession, out of possession, defensively. I expect better than that. I want people to run about, close people down and do that ugly side of the game and we are not doing it enough."
