Woodrow then produced the standout moment of the game as he doubled the lead with a brilliant 30-yard effort that went into the top corner.

Posh felt the Reds should have been reduced to 10 men when Kenny Dougall appeared to bring down Ivan Toney, in an incident which is sure to dominate boss Steve Evans' post-match thoughts.
