Posh jumped to within six points of second-placed Derby 바카라 and also boast two games in hand 바카라 by brushing aside struggling Vale.
Joel Randall broke the deadlock in the final seconds of the first half with a blast that took a double deflection on its way past Connor Ripley after Harrison Burrows바카라 short corner.
EFL Trophy final hero Burrows doubled the advantage from the penalty spot 11 minutes into the second half and the Posh captain was again the architect when his 86th-minute cross was headed into his own net by Alex Iacovitti to compound Vale바카라s misery as they dropped back into the bottom four on goal difference.
Delighted Posh boss Ferguson said: 바카라That is as well as we have played at home for a long time.
바카라It was a really good performance from my team- mature, confident, some great football and a clean sheet."
바카라We didn바카라t panic when the first goal took a while to come and then we had complete control in the second half."
바카라I was really pleased with the result but the manner of the performance at this stage of the season is what delighted me the most."
바카라People might have wondered what we would look like after Sunday but we were so fresh physically and running all over them."
바카라These lads are relentless. I have to give them and the staff a lot of credit."
바카라We know Derby drew and dropped points but we just keep looking at the next game. I바카라ve already watched Oxford today and we바카라ll look no further ahead than that on Saturday.바카라
Vale boss Darren Moore admitted: 바카라It was a difficult night for us."
바카라If we could have got to the break with the scores level, it might have created a bit of anxiety around the place."
바카라But the first goal on the stroke of half time really changed my team-talk and gave us a mountain to climb in the second half."
바카라Peterborough are an excellent and free-scoring team with a lot of attacking options and move the ball really well. Up to a point, the boys stuck to the game plan to nullify and contain them well."
바카라It바카라s just disappointing to concede the first and second goals in the manner we did from corners as we바카라d worked on that."
바카라The first goal took two deflections and the second one is a switch-off at the far post which leads to a penalty."
바카라The third one is then an own goal but I바카라ve got no complaints in terms of the commitment and energy the boys showed.바카라
