Darren Ferguson delivers verdict on Peterborough United’s 2-0 win over Lincoln City

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson has said that two high-class finishes made the difference in their 2-0 win over Lincoln City on Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday afternoon, Peterborough United’s strong second-half display saw them defeat Lincoln City 2-0 at London Road.

A thunderbolt from Louis Reed and a classy chip from Ivan Toney was enough to see Posh United take all three points from Lincoln, taking them to five home wins in a row and up into 3rd place in the League One table.

Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph after the game, Posh boss Darren Ferguson said that the club are lucky to have Ivan Toney in their side, after his goal made him the top scorer in the English Football League, praising the striker and Louis Reed for their “high-class” finishes.

“They were two high-class finishes. Louis ran onto his and caught the ball perfectly and Ivan’s finish was just stunning. Ivan is a very good player for this level of football. We are very lucky to have him.

“Louis has also been playing very well so it was a shame we will now lose him for the game at Gillingham next week. It looked a harsh red card, but we can’t appeal two yellow cards.

“It had been a frustrating afternoon for us. We knew that Lincoln would sit deep and try and stop us playing between the lines and we didn’t pass the ball quickly enough or play with enough aggression to get them under pressure. It was always going to be a hard game. It was a derby against a good side after all.

“We tried to get Marcus Maddison wide and we did that well, but his quality was off in the first half. We were much better in the second-half and dictated a lot of the play. We deserved to win. We kept our discipline well when we didn’t have the ball.”
