Peterborou­gh 0 Plymouth 1

-

DARREN FERGUSON described Ruben Lameiras’ late winner for Plymouth as a “hammer blow”.

Lameiras (below) struck on 88 minutes as the Peterborou­gh manager’s first home game in charge of his third spell with the club ended in heartbreak.

His side’s resistance was broken by a long-range effort after they had played with 10 men since Lee Tomlin’s dismissal in first-half stoppage time.

“I said at halftime, ‘if you get through the first 20 minutes of the half the fans will drag us on’ and they did. “Bit was a bit of a hammer blow to lose that goal,” said Ferguson. Tomlin’s second booking came when Ryan Edwards went to ground. Ferguson added: “The defender has gone down like he’s been hit by a hammer.” Plymouth manager Derek Adams said: “He was probably lucky it wasn’t a straight sending off. He had to go. It was petulant and the correct decision was made.”
