Peterborough United secured a dominant 5-0 victory against Rotherham United on Tuesday, 17 March 2026, at the Weston Homes Stadium in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The win helps the local club move further away from the bottom of the league table following a strong performance at home.
Young player David Kamara scored his first two professional goals during the match, with both of his efforts coming from penalty kicks. Other goals from Kyrell Lisbie, Jimmy-Jay Morgan, and Archie Collins helped the team finish the evening with five goals and a clean sheet.
The game was watched by 6,112 fans, which included 274 supporters who made the trip from Rotherham. Although the score looks one-sided, goalkeeper Alex Bass was credited with an important save when the team was 2-0 up, preventing the visitors from getting back into the contest.
This result moves the team, known locally as the Posh, up to 13th place in the league standings. They are now eight points clear of the teams in danger of being moved down to a lower division, and they also have one extra game still to play compared to some of their rivals.
Manager Luke Williams saw his side bounce back quickly after a defeat the team suffered earlier in the week. The victory provides a boost for the club as they head into the final months of the 2025-2026 football season.
