Half-time: Peterborough United 0 Yeovil Town 2. Two goals in three minutes from Paul Wane and Aaron Brown gave in-form Yeovil Town an impressive half-time lead at London Road, writes Nathan Jones.

Yeovil boss Russell Slade replaced the suspended Terrell Forbes and Danny Schofield with skipper Terry Skiverton and Lee Peltier.

And the Glovers had the first chance when Andy Welsh cut in from the left flank but saw his shot sail wide of the far post.

After a quiet opening 25 minutes, Craig Mackail-Smith burst past Skiverton but Josh Wagenaar saved well with his body and Aaron Brown cleared.

Mackail-Smith then headed over when unmarked at the far post from a George Boyd cross before Skiverton did likewise from a Craig Alcock centre at the other end.

And Yeovil took the lead on 31 minutes when Welsh's inswinging corner was headed out of keeper Joe Lewis's hands by Brown at the near post for Paul Warne to head in from a yard.

Within two minutes it was 2-0 when a corner from the same side from Welsh was flicked over his shoulder and in at the near post by Brown.

And it was nearly 3-0 when Aleksander Prijovic got in down the right side. Lewis fumbled the shot behind for a corner.

But Skiverton then had to hobble off with a leg injury and was replaced by Keiran Murtagh with Peltier moving to centre half.

Posh's first chance since going behind went to Aaron McLean but he shot wide after being released by Boyd.

Then in stoppage time McLean headed past Wagenaar but Jon Worthington got back to clear off the line.
