Runaway League One leaders Birmingham City sealed promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt with six games to spare thanks to victory at Peterborough.
Posh's Kwame Poku put the party on hold when he equalised three minutes after Alfie May had put the visitors ahead.
But Taylor Gardner-Hickman restored Blues' lead eight minutes before the interval with what turned out to be the winner.
