Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson was once again 'delighted' with his young squad after Huddersfield Town were easily beaten 4-0 at London Road as Aaron Mclean marked his first start in over a month with two goals.

Mclean opened the scoring after good work from George Boyd and completed the scoring with a long-range effort which went straight through Terriers goalkeeper Matt Glennon. Boyd and Chris Whelpdale were also on target in a comprehensive victory for Posh - a win that lifts the club to sixth in the League One table.

'That is 10 games unbeaten and the second successive clean sheet and I am naturally very pleased. The performance was good and unlike Tuesday night, this time we got the goals that our play deserved. It was important to score early, we started at a good tempo and I thought we created a number of really good opportunities.

'Aaron was chomping at the bit to start and he obviously showed what he is all about with the two goals. I think George would have won a penalty had he not laid the ball back into the path of 'Macca' and Aaron finished as we know he can. He got a bit lucky with his second, but if you don't shoot, you don't score.

'I thought George was excellent again and it was a good team performance, everyone played their part. It was great to get another clean sheet and at 1-0, we had to defend because they did cause one or two problems. Joe Lewis made a couple of excellent saves and I thought his handling in difficult conditions was first class,' Ferguson told theposh.com.

The win lifted Posh above Southend United and Oldham Athletic into sixth place in the League One table with two matches against the bottom two in the division coming up against Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday night and then Hereford United at London Road next Saturday.

'We have two games that we obviously are looking to win coming up, but just because those two teams are struggling a bit at the moment doesn't mean they will be easy. Every game is a difficult one at this level and if we don't concentrate and apply ourselves correctly then I know we will get beat, there is no doubt about that,' Ferguson added.
