Tommy Mooney put Wanderers 1-0 up on 16 minutes and Jonathan Dixon sealed the victory with his goal right at the death on 93 minutes.
Trevor Benjamin scored the only goal of the game for the Posh on 48 minutes as they snatched an impressive 1-0 away win.

Izale Mcleod's penalty (5) and Aaron Wilbraham's strike (26) put the visitors two up before Lee Frecklington (46) got the home side back into it. No sooner had he done so, The Dons were 3-1 up through Clive Platt's 54th minute goal. Lee Beevers scored a second for City on 59 minutes, but it was not enough.
Stockport County recorded the most impressive result of the day, with their 5-2 victory over Wrexham at Edgeley Park.
Mark Robinson scored a penalty on 24 minutes, but it was Adam Le Fondre who proved to be the hero with his four-goal return (24, 54, 85, 87). Danny Williams (43,61) scored the goals for The Dragons, who have now slipped to 12th.
Alan White (32), Andy Parkinson (37) and Jason Lee (55) gave Notts County all three points at Underhill. Ian Hendon scored a penalty (25) and Jason Puncheon (32) had given Barnet a 2-0 lead, before the visitors turned it around and won 3-2.
