Player Ratings: MK Dons 0-4 Peterborough


Posh stormed to back to back league wins for the first time this season after dispatching rivals MK Dons 4-0 at Stadium MK. It was a superb all-round performance for the Posh who carved out numerous scoring opportunities and dominated their nearly promoted opponents.

Starting 11

Christy Pym: No shots to save for the second match in a row thanks to a committed team performance ahead of him but was alert to danger, caught everything and distributed well. 7

Niall Mason: Improving with every display, was good in possession and not unduly troubled at the back. 7

Frazer Blake-Tracy: Not quite the impact going forward as in the last two matches but still a strong and committed display from Posh’s surprise star. 7.5

Mark Beevers: A strong display from the Posh skipper who is turning into the solid stopper Posh thought they’d snapped up on a free in the summer, alongside Kent hardly gave the MK Dons strike force a sniff. 8

Frankie Kent: Classy defender who always looks composed on the ball. Has looked far less error strewn of late and forming a formidable partnership with Beevers at the heart of the Posh defence. 8

Louis Reed: Surely Posh’s best passer since Grant McCann. Excellent at the base of the diamond again with crisp, accurate passing and strong running with the ball. 8.5

George Boyd: Another committed display from the Posh midfielder who was again unlucky not to score. Brings lots of energy to left side of Posh midfield, linked well with Eisa for Posh’s third goal and deputised well in the number 10 role following Maddison’s substitution. 7.5

Josh Knight: Ensures the Posh midfield is well balanced with his tough tackling, hard running combative approach. Solid again. 7.5

Marcus Maddison: Unplayable again. Roamed freely on a huge pitch finding space both between the lines and out wide. Scored a 30 yard worldie to add to his six assists already this season. MOTM 10

Mo Eisa: Took both his goals well making it four goals in three matches for the Posh million-pound man. Forming a nice three-pronged partnership with Toney and Maddison. 9

Ivan Toney: Another headed goal for Posh’s tall striker who was a menace both in and out of possession. 8.5

Subs
Joe Ward (on 66): Brings lots of effort and energy when he plays, always consistent and delivered on excellent cross field ball for the fourth goal. 8

Harrison Burrows (on 70): Didn’t look out of place on his first league appearance. Some nice touches and neat and tidy. Could have a part to play later in the season 7

Siriki Dembele (on 80): A skilful and powerful cameo from the Posh number 10. Dribbled dangerously and forced a good save from Nicholls with one rasping long range effort 7
