Burton Albion 2-1 Peterborough United

Two goals in four minutes from Kane Hemmings and Hayden Carter earned Burton a fourth straight victory as they toppled promotion hopefuls Peterborough.

Hemmings opened up what was an intriguingly tight game between the top two teams in the form table when he applied a close-range finish to Jonny Smith's near-post cross after 54 minutes.

Before Posh could respond they found themselves two behind, with Christy Pym in the Posh goal unable to prevent Carter's shot from crossing the line after good work from Tom Hamer to keep Danny Rowe's corner alive.

Peterborough substitute Mo Eisa twice went close to but was denied by Carter almost on the line having poked a shot past Ben Garratt and then seeing a lobbed effort beat the keeper but land on the roof of the net inside the final 10 minutes.

Harrison Burrows eventually pulled one back for Darren Ferguson's men deep into stoppage time when his shot just had enough to go over the line despite two Brewers' defenders trying to hack it away but it was not enough for a point and they fell down to second spot.
