WAGHORN ON FIRE AS RAMS FIGHT BACK TO STUN THE POSH

PAUL Warne hailed his Derby side's hat-trick hero Martyn Waghorn after his triple strike sealed the Rams a full quota of points at Peterborough.

The Rams had found themselves trailing in the 23rd minute after a Posh opener was started and finished by Jonson Clarke-Harris.

But it was one-way traffic from then on as the Rams went on an almighty attacking raid scoring four times inside 16 minutes against a Posh side who had previously only conceded twice all season.

Their charge was spearheaded by veteran frontman Waghorn, who levelled with a cool volley from a Liam Thompson cross in the 29th minute before Eirin Cashin completed the turnaround with a 37th-minute header from ex-Posh man Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's delivery.

Waghorn, who returned to County for a second spell in the summer, then poked in a Mendez-Laing long shot in the 40th minute to extend the advantage.
