The Posh had raced to a commanding lead through Kwame Poku, Harrison Burrows, and Ricky Jade Jones and could’ve had another but for a penalty save from Dan Grimshaw.
Despite being down a man for the majority of the second half following Olly Casey’s red card, the Seasiders were able to pull goals back through Kenny Dougall and Sonny Carey, before Ephron Mason-Clark added another for Darren Ferguson’s side.
The visitors took the lead in the 15th minute, after a very quiet start to the game.

Mason-Clark crossed the ball to the back post from the left wing, with Poku arriving to control and finish into the bottom corner past Grimshaw.
Blackpool’s first attempt at goal came just over 10 minutes later.
CJ Hamilton did well to win back possession in the Peterborough box, with the ball coming to Kylian Kouassi- who dragged his effort wide of the post.
Ahead of half time, Ferguson’s side were awarded a penalty, following a trip on Mason-Clark from Matthew Pennington.
It was a hit and miss afternoon for Matthew Pennington. The defender was at fault for the penalty, with a trip on Mason-Clark, while he was also at fault with some loose passes. There were also positives- including some key defensive contributions. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
The man who won the spot kick stepped up to take it, but was denied by Grimshaw- with the keeper guessing the right way.
Down the other end, Kouassi had another opportunity to level the scores, but couldn’t keep his header down after some good work from Sonny Carey.
A minute into the second half, Neil Critchley’s side had their numbers reduced, with Olly Casey bringing down Ricky Jade Jones on the edge of the box as he was about to run through on goal.
From the resulting free kick, Burrows curled the ball around the wall into the bottom corner to make it 2-0.
Olly Casey was sent off moments into the second half. It was a clumsy challenge from the defender on Ricky Jade Jones, and couldn't have any complaints due to being the last man. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
A third soon followed, with Jones slotting through the legs of Grimshaw after being played in by Poku.
On the hour mark, Dougall pulled a goal back for the Seasiders, which sparked new life into the game.
That was quickly followed by a strike from Carey, with the midfielder finishing on the rebound to close the gap further.
At the beginning of stoppage time, Peterborough sealed their victory.

Following a mistake at the back from Blackpool, Mason-Clark took the ball around Grimshaw to make it 4-2.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:

Tashan Oakley-Boothe returned to the Seasiders' starting line-up for the game against Peterborough. Like the draw against Oxford United, there were both positive and negatives from the midfielder. He showed plenty of enthusiasm to close down the the Posh defence, but his execution on the ball needs to improve. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
Kenny Dougall was a fantastic leader for the Seasiders once again. The midfielder got the goal that sparked a more positive last half an hour for Neil Critchley's side. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
Sonny Carey was pretty underwhelming in the first half, but looked really bright after the break.The midfielder forced the Posh keeper into two good saves before the Seasiders pulled one back.He then remained alert for his goal, and score off a rebounded effort. (Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth)
There were positives and negatives from Dominic Thompson. He probably could've done better for Peterborough's first of the afternoon, but did bring energy in the Blackpool attack. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
Kylian Kouassi did cause a threat to the Peterborough defence on a couple of occasions. He dragged a shot wide and put a header over the crossbar during the first half- when he should've been doing better. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
It was a pretty quiet afternoon for Rhodes, who didn't really have a sight of goal. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
Marvin Ekpiteta came off the bench in the second half and put in a pretty decent shift. He may be given another chance in the starting XI in Casey's absence. (Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth)

For much of this year and before 7 October, naval gazers had about four areas to look at. First, the ongoing fight in the Black Sea with the Russian blockade weaponizing hunger despite regular Ukrainian successes there. The Russians were also keeping navies busy in the high north and the North Atlantic.

Call off the search: the worst show of 2023 is here. That is, unless you’re a 13-year-old boy, in which case Obliterated (Netflix) is your dream product. Guns! Naked breasts! A lead character who is a government operative but also looks smokin’ hot in a red bikini! And that’s before we get to the script, in which a foreign baddie plots to nuke Las Vegas. Standing in his way is an elite tactical unit (the best kind) whose members say things like: “We’re supposed to stop the bad guy with the bomb”
How’s Brexit working out? There have been some marginal positives, but in terms of the economy, it’s been mainly downside, and on the issues that really matter to voters – particularly immigration and a better functioning health service with more money behind it – Brexit has so far manifestly failed to deliver.
As Eurocrats-in-chief go, Ursula von der Leyen has generally been relatively inoffensive to British sensibilities. Most of us were dimly aware that she was one of those people who excel at “failing upwards”, with her emergence as President of the European Commission following a chequered spell as Germany’s defence minister.
