Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson was delighted to see history repeat itself as rivals Cambridge were put to the sword at the Weston Homes Stadium for the second season running with a 6-1 victory.
One year on from the Posh’s 5-0 victory over the U’s, at the time the record victory in a Cambridgeshire derby, Ferguson’s free-scoring side were ruthless in attack in front of their thrilled supporters.
Peterborough have now scored 14 goals in their last three games in all competitions, with three of their six against Cambridge coming from Kwame Poku, who scored the first hat-trick of his career.
Ferguson said: “Fantastic, a great day for the fans, two seasons on the bounce they’ve loved it. We put on a real performance for them.
“I think you’ve seen how devastating we can be today, and they actually started the game better than us.
“They were more aggressive, we got a bit of control but once we scored, in the period after that up to half-time we were devastating.
“I think the players took a bit of confidence from it [the opening goal], in terms of once we started passing forward and running forward, with that pace.
“Joel Randall running round for the second goal from that pass from Malik [Mothersille], both players – Kwame and Ricky – queuing up, a real quality goal.
“The third goal was absolutely outstanding, it was just top draw.
“And Kwame is just unplayable at the moment, I’ve got to be honest, I would hate to play against him.”
Peterborough led 4-0 at half-time as Ricky-Jade Jones’ scrambled opener was added to by the first two of Poku’s goals and Mothersille’s penalty.
Ryan De Havilland added a fifth for the Posh early in the second half and, after Sullay Kaikai had pulled one back for Cambridge, Poku finished the rout by completing his hat-trick.
Cambridge boss Garry Monk said: “It’s a bitter pill to take, isn’t it?
“I thought we started super strong, that first 20 minutes of the game was exactly what we planned to do and what we wanted to do.
“Then, and we spoke about their attack during the week, it flipped on its head really quickly and that got that quick succession of goals – I think that was the first times they got into our box.
“We’d done really well up to that point and I think the only frustrating thing there was we didn’t capitalise on some of the good stuff that we had.
“We could have maybe taken an opportunity there, but goals change games and [with] the quality that they have and what they showed, they were really ruthless in that period.
“We didn’t react well enough and turned over the ball too much and, after that second goal, caused our own problems.”
