In Godden Evans trusts

five years. He was shipped out to non-league sides, with eight stints away, before eventually leaving.

This season the striker has already scored nine league goals, though, making him the division’s joint-top scorer.

Evans added: “In the teams of the season so far, Matt Godden hasn’t been in. Don’t put him in, leave him alone. What a brilliant professional he is.”

Peterborough’s away form remains fierce as they are still unbeaten with six wins and a draw, although Scunthorpe had the better of a scrappy first half.

Ryan Colclough twice went close for Stuart Mccall’s men and Stephen Humphrys’ lob narrowly missed the target.

Aaron Chapman was looking shaky in the Posh goal and was lucky not to concede a penalty when he clattered into Cameron Borthwickjackson.

Scunthorpe kept up the momentum early in the second half, but their misses were about to bite them.

Colin Daniel crossed and Godden applied the finishing touch from close range.

Worse was to follow for The Iron as Godden quickly doubled his tally.

The forward cut inside and fired in a shot that evaded goalkeeper Jak Alnwick too easily.

Mccall said: “We are very frustrated and disappointed with the performance. The two goals we conceded were very poor.” Possession 54% 46% Shots On Target 4 5 Shots Off Target 12 3 Blocked Shots 2 4 Corners 6 1 Fouls Conceded 10 14 Offsides 2 1 Yellow Cards 0 3 Red Cards 0 0
