Kwame Poku and Joel Randall both hit a brace as Peterborough secured their first win of the season after beating Shrewsbury 4-1.

Shrewsbury engineered a well-worked move  just past the 20-minute mark before captain Carl Winchester unleashed a 25-yard strike which rippled into the net.

It took the Posh just two minutes to find the equaliser, as Abraham Odoh slid the ball to Poku for the forward to place into the far corner.

On the hour mark, Archie Collins found Poku, who from distance unleashed a curling effort into the back of the net.

Luca Hoole headed Jordan Shipley’s free-kick across goal with under 15 minutes remaining to Toto Nsiala, who nodded goalwards, but Peterborough managed to clear it off the line.

Randall sealed victory for the visitors just before full-time with a quick-fire brace.

The midfielder capitalised on a defensive error for his first to tap into an empty net, with his second coming minutes later after converting at the back post.
