Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s reign as Northampton boss ended after Posh defeat
Posted Tuesday, April 03, 2018 by PA
Struggling Northampton suffered a 2-0 defeat at local rivals Peterborough that brought an end to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s reign at the club.
Some visiting fans called for the Dutchman’s sacking during a loss that left the Cobblers two points adrift of safety in Sky Bet League One.
And they got their wish hours after goals from Jack Baldwin and Jack Marriott had consigned them to a ninth game without a win.
The Cobblers also ended the game with 10 men after last man Ash Taylor was sent off for fouling Marriott.
Northampton started well but striker Chris Long was denied by Peterborough goalkeeper Conor O’Malley after being played through on goal by Matt Crooks.
The hosts took advantage through two Liam Shephard free-kicks from inside his own half.
The first, in the 12th minute, was headed in by an unmarked Baldwin, and the second – two minutes later – saw Marriott lob goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell for his 31st goal of the season.
Sam Foley hit the outside of a post for the visitors, who then had Taylor sent off with 11 minutes to go.
