Marcus Maddison's 56th-minute strike set Posh on their way to a four-goal second-half landslide - and top spot in the table

Peterborough United moved top of League One with a 4-0 home win against Accrington.

Marcus Maddison, Ivan Toney, Frankie Kent and Siriki Dembele struck in the second half to make it five home wins in a row for Posh, the top scorers in English football's top four divisions.

The evening was marred by a first-half injury to Stanley defender Joe Maguire, who was carried off on a stretcher after being struck on the head by a Louis Reed thunderbolt.

That meant 12 minutes stoppage time before the break, during which Sean McConville's 25-yard free-kick superbly tipped onto the bar by Posh goalkeeper Christy Pym, while Offrande Zanzala's follow-up header was ruled out for handball.

The home side the broke the deadlock on 56 minutes after breaking from an Accrington corner. Louis Reed clipped the ball to Maddison who cut in from the right before dinking the ball over goalkeeper Dimitar Evtimov.

Toney headed in George Boyd's left-wing cross on 69 minutes for his 11th goal of the season before defender Kent headed in Joe Ward's corner at the near post in the 85th minute.

Dembele struck five minutes into stoppage time, rounding Evtimov after being played in by Toney.
