-

DARREN FERGUSON hailed his players as Peterborou­gh booked their place back in the Championsh­ip in sensationa­l fashion.

Posh, needing a point to secure promotion, were 3-0 down at home to Lincoln before a stirring fightback to draw 3-3, with Jonson Clarke-Harris converting a penalty in the 95th minute.

Ferguson said: “It’s incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it.

“I had all sorts going through my mind at 3-0 down, but what a bunch of players I have.”

Hull boss Grant McCann hailed the character of everyone at the club after they clinched the title with a 3-1 win over Wigan. They go straight back up as champions after finishing bottom of the second tier last season.

McCann said: “To turn around the sinking ship to one that floats on top of the ocean, it’s been a real team effort from everyone.”

There was relegation misery for Rochdale, who lost 2-1 at home against Doncaster, and Northampto­n, beaten 3-0 by play-off chasing NAKED AMBITION: Clarke-Harris celebrates

Portsmouth kept up their own play-off push with a 3-1 victory at AFC Wimbledon, where defender Lee Brown struck twice just before half-time. Oxford are a point behind in seventh, after they won 3-2 at Shrewsbury with a late goal from Daniel Agyei. Charlton drew 1-1 at Accrington and can still make the play-offs.
