Bradley Ihionvien continued his fine pre-season form with a hat-trick as Posh dismantled Peterborough Sports in their latest friendly fixture.
The former Colchester United front man, who netted the winner in a behind closed doors win at Ipswich Town on Saturday, was in blistering form against Sports, scoring twice in the first half and completing his hat-trick in the second before he was replaced by Gustav Lindgren.
The Swede bagged a brace himself with two clinical finishes while Kyrell Lisbie, Abraham Odoh and Harley Mills also on target - the latter with a superb strike into the top corner.
Darren Ferguson's men could have taken the lead inside 30 seconds with Ihionvien seeing an effort cleared off the line before Archie Collins saw the rebound blocked.
Moments later though it was 1-0, IHIONVIEN dinking the ball over goalkeeper Crook with a defender on the line unable to keep the effort out.
Cian Hayes fired wide from 20-yards on 11 minutes before Nick Bilokapic made two saves in quick succession to deny Gash and Fryatt.
Crook then produced a fine save to claw away an attempted chip by Ihionvien before the hosts drew level as Max BOOTH headed home from close-range after a cross was knocked back across goal by Aaron Powell.
Parity didn't last long though as IHIONVIEN intercepted a poor back pass, rounded Crook and tapped the ball into a gaping net. Before the break it was 3-1 as ODOH cut inside onto his right-foot and found the back of the net via the inside of the post.
Posh made plenty of changes at the break and only took a minute to add to their tally as IHIONVIEN completed his hat-trick with an expert finish after good work from Hayes.
On 49 minutes, it was 5-1 and arguably the goal of the game as Harley MILLS produced a fine finish into the top corner with that wand of a left-foot.
On 64 minutes, substitute LINDGREN got his first of the night, racing onto a through ball and firing low into the bottom corner.
Five minutes from time, LINDGREN got his second, another composed finish in a 1v1 situation. The scoring was complete a minute from time as LISBIE raced clear, rounded the keeper and fired into the corner.
