CHRIS' GUTSY BLUE BATTLE BACK TO NAB THE TOP SPOT

The home side sent a statement to their League One rivals after coming from two goals behind to beat the Posh and reclaim the top spot.

After a sloppy start, the Blues found themselves two goals behind after just 16 minutes, providing a mountain for the high-spenders to climb.

A smart finish from Willum Willumsson gave the hosts a lifeline in the 24th minute and, when Jay Stansfield’s shot deflected beyond Jed Steer courtesy of Oscar Wallin at the start of the second half, there was a sense of belief around the ground.

Captain Krystian Bielik completed the comeback, converting a headed effort from Tomoki Iwata’s cross in the 66th minute.
