Portsmouth beat Peterborough to move top of League One
Posted Sunday, September 16, 2018 by PA
Portsmouth moved above opponents Peterborough to the top of Sky Bet League One thanks to a 2-1 away win.
Ronan Curtis, on his return from international duty with the Republic of Ireland, set up both of Pompey’s second-half goals.
Oliver Hawkins and Jamal Lowe put the visitors in charge of the top-of-the-table clash before Ivan Toney teed up Matt Godden four minutes into stoppage time for a consolation.
The opener came after 62 minutes when winger Curtis, who missed last week’s draw with Shrewsbury, battled past Joe Ward down the left and crossed for Hawkins to loop a header into the far corner for his first goal of the season.
The second goal arrived 13 minutes later and followed a poor pass from home centre-back Rhys Bennett which found Curtis. A quick break saw Hawkins clip over a cross from the right which was headed by Curtis to Lowe, who fired in.
Godden’s late strike could not prevent Posh’s first league defeat of the season, in front of a crowd of more than 10,000 people at London Road.
