Scunthorpe chief Nigel Adkins could have no complaints after his side's 3-0 defeat at Peterborough.

George Boyd scored twice, the second from the penalty spot, either side of a Craig Mackail-Smith effort, to earn Posh just their second success of the season.

Adkins said: "Goals change games and it was Peterborough who put their chances away.

"The second goal on the stroke of half-time was a real killer. Jordan Spence made a costly mistake and that left us with a mountain to climb.

"But Peterborough is a seriously tough place to visit. You don't just turn up here and get a win."
