Peterborough United 2 - 3 Port Vale: Port Vale fightback stuns Peterborough



Posted Sunday, March 13, 2016 by PA

Port Vale mounted a stunning second-half fightback to snatch a 3-2 win at Peterborough and keep their play-off challenge on track.

Robert Page's men struck twice in the final four minutes to complete an incredible turnaround at the ABAX Stadium and condemn Posh to a club record-equalling fifth successive home defeat.

Vale were adrift at the break after a first half in which they also had defender Ryan Inniss stretchered off on the half-hour.

They fell behind after just 75 seconds when Jon Taylor fired Posh ahead and the hosts doubled their lead in the 41st minute when Aaron Williams slammed in the first Football League goal of his career from the edge of the box.

Vale halved their arrears four minutes into the second period when Byron Moore controlled and converted Sam Foley's cut-back.

They clawed their way level with four minutes to go as two substitutes combined, with Ryan McGivern delivering a left-wing cross that was glanced in by JJ Hooper.

Even better was to follow for the visitors as Louis Dodds rifled in an 89th-minute winner.
