Notts County, however, fought back with two quick strikes from Cedwyn Scott and Matty Platt, taking a 2-1 lead into halftime.
Peterborough rallied in the second half, with Ricky-Jade Jones scoring his second goal in the 73rd minute to equalize. Joel Randall then gave the home side the lead, finishing off an assist from Abraham Odoh.
Odoh further cemented the victory with a late goal in the 87th minute, making it 4-2. Notts County’s George Abbott pulled one back in stoppage time, but it wasn’t enough to deny Peterborough the win.
