Matt Godden was the player to get the plaudits but it was Gus Hamer who gave Coventry the lead with a powerful 30 yard strike evading Posh keeper’ David Cornell.

Godden then doubled the lead as he fired past Cornell inside the far post and he wasn’t finished there.

Coventry continued to create chances in the game as Peterborough struggled to get any foothold throughout.

The pressure from Mark Robin’s side told as Nathan Thompson directed the ball into his own goal before Godden grabbed his second against his former club.
