Peterborough on verge of playoff final after thrashing Sheffield Wednesday

theguardian.com

Peterborough have one foot in the League One playoff final at Wembley after they eased past Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 at the Weston Homes Stadium.

Goals from Jack Taylor, Joe Ward, Kwame Poku and Jonson Clarke-Harris sent the home fans into hysteria ahead of Thursday’s return leg at Hillsborough.

The home side – who saw Darren Ferguson return for a fourth stint as manager at the start of the year – were delirious after sealing the last playoff spot as they leapfrogged Derby on the final day and they are in dreamland once again after blowing the visitors away in the first leg.

It could be another fairytale finish to the season for Ferguson who has steered the club to the Championship on three separate occasions as well as a League Two promotion.
