Stockport made it four home league wins in a row as they defeated Peterborough 2-1.

After Odin Bailey had given County an 11th-minute lead, the visitors levelled through Joel Randall but Isaac Olaofe netted inside the final 15 minutes, to secure victory for Stockport.

The hosts took an early lead when Louie Barry sent in a low driven free-kick from the byline, with Bailey on hand to guide the ball in at the back post.

Having had little in terms of chances, Peterborough netted a surprise equaliser after 34 minutes as Cian Hayes went on a mazy run down the right before squaring to Randall, who dispatched the ball beyond Ben Hinchliffe.

With 20 minutes left, Hinchliffe almost gifted Peterborough a second when he gave the ball away on the edge of the box but Stockport scrambled their defence and Ethan Pye produced a vital block to deny Ryan de Havilland.

County regained the lead five minutes later as the lively Barry fired the ball across the box and substitute Olaofe tucked home the winner.
