Peterborough United U21 saw off Queens Park Rangers U21 2-0 in the Professional Development League Regular Season on Tuesday. The hosts ran out winners in front of their own supporters, taking all three points from the fixture at their academy ground.
The breakthrough came in the twenty-seventh minute when Peterborough broke through to take the lead. It was a moment that shifted the balance of the game, giving the home side momentum they carried forward.
By then, Queens Park Rangers were playing with backs against the wall. The goal in the thirty-eighth minute put the result beyond doubt, ending Peterborough's barren spell in front of goal and leaving the visitors with work to do.
To be fair, the standings tell a story of contrasting starts to this campaign. Peterborough sit fourth with six points from two games and two wins, while QPR languish fifteenth with just one point from three matches and no victories to their name.
The result means Peterborough move closer to the top of the table, while Queens Park Rangers must now regroup after another defeat. The gap between sides in this division remains clear, and tonight only widened it further.
