Mansfield Town
Peterborough United
Peterborough United secured a valuable away victory at Field Mill through clinical finishing and smart game management, though they were made to sweat in the closing stages. Jimmy Morgan opened the scoring nine minutes into the second half before Harry Leonard doubled the advantage to seemingly put the visitors in control. However, substitute George Abbott's late strike set up a nervy finale as Mansfield pushed desperately for an equalizer. The result lifts Peterborough further up the League One table while leaving Mansfield still looking over their shoulders in mid-table, with both managers making extensive use of their benches as the match wore on.
