Oxford United ended a three-match losing streak in commanding style at Peterborough thanks to a stunning second-half performance.

The visitors found themselves behind to a goal from joint League One leading scorer Jack Marriott after a quarter-of-an-hour.

Marriott raced onto a defence-splitting Anthony Grant pass to prod the ball past Oxford goalkeeper Simon Eastwood to register his ninth goal of the campaign.

But Posh were brushed aside in the second period as Pep Clotet's men ran riot with midfield ace Jack Payne creating all four goals.

He laid on the equaliser for Josh Ruffels early in the second half with a fine cross from the right, and then slipped in Wes Thomas to complete a quick turnaround five minutes later.

Payne was again the architect, along with James Henry, when Joe Rothwell extended the advantage with 15 minutes left.

And substitute Agon Mehmeti put the result beyond doubt when tapping in after a Payne shot was saved.

Marriott headed against the bar late on, but Posh had already been condemned to a second successive defeat.
