Peterborough United 2-0 Lincoln City

Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson was on the touchline following the death of his mother

Peterborough beat Lincoln City to stretch their unbeaten League One run to six games.

The hosts had the woodwork to thank for not being behind at the break, as Lincoln's Danny Mandroiu lifted a shot against the bar before Sean Roughan missed with a free header from a corner.

But it was all about Posh in the second period as David Ajiboye came off the bench to set them on the way to glory in spectacular style in the 53rd minute, racing onto an Ephron Mason-Clark pass and arrowing a terrific 20-yard strike past goalkeeper Lukas Jensen.

Ajiboye, introduced late in the first half following an injury to Kwame Poku, had seen another effort saved by Jensen moments before making the breakthrough.

Jensen then denied Peter Kioso and Mason-Clark fired over before Posh clinched the points in the 83rd minute courtesy of Joel Randall's first EFL goal for the club, more than two years after his arrival.

The former Exeter player coolly controlled a Mason-Clark cutback from the left and steered a low shot past Jensen to seal victory, before Harrison Burrows came close to a third in stoppage-time, striking the bar with a shot.

Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson was on the touchline despite the death of his mother.

His assistant Kieran Scarff said afterwards: "All I can say on behalf of Darren is how much he values and appreciates the support he has had from the players, the staff across the club and the fans.

"It's always important to win football matches and perhaps there was a little bit more added to that today."
