Ex-Blackburn Rovers player secures third club in 12 months after promotion miss

Peterborough United 1-0 Wigan Athletic
Mahamadou Susoho's first goal for Peterborough United gave the Sky Bet League One strugglers a much-needed 1-0 victory over Wigan at the Weston Homes Stadium. The match may have lacked quality for long periods, but this was the Posh's first win in nine league games and it kept them six points clear of the relegation zone. Peterborough took the lead after 19 minutes when Tayo Edun's cross from the left was met by a diving header from Manchester City loanee Susoho that went in off the post. Posh goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic almost had a calamitous moment in the 63rd minute when his clearance was charged down by Will Goodwin and he was relieved to see the ball fly wide. The hosts came close to wrapping the game up after 78 minutes when Abraham Odoh played in Ricky-Jade Jones, but Sam Tickle came out to make a good stop. The Wigan goalkeeper kept his side in the contest again when he tipped over Chris Conn-Clarke's shot from outside the box, but one goal was enough for Peterborough. Report supplied by PA Media.
