Peterborough 3-0 Port Vale: Jonson Clarke-Harris scores twice in Posh win
Saturday 24 September 2022 17:41, UK
Peterborough snapped a run of four successive Sky Bet League One defeats by breezing past Port Vale 3-0.
Grant McCann's men took command thanks to a 10-minute brace from captain Jonson Clarke-Harris, with wideman Kwame Poku the architect on both occasions.
Clarke-Harris produced a smart 26th-minute finish into the far corner from a short Poku pass after Ricky-Jade Jones won possession on the edge of the Vale box.
Poku then delivered a terrific cross from the right in the 36th minute for Clarke-Harris to convert his seventh goal of the season at full-stretch.
Clarke-Harris was denied a treble by a smart save from Vale keeper Jack Stevens seconds before the break and then saw a cross-shot smack a post early in the second period.
