Peterborough United 5-0 Tranmere Rovers

  • Published

Britt Assombalonga scored a hat-trick on his return from suspension as Peterborough thrashed Tranmere 5-0 in the FA Cup second round.

The striker beat Owain Fon Williams at his near post to put Posh in front and ex-Rovers trialist Shaun Jeffers turned in Lee Tomlin's corner for 2-0.

Assombalonga then fired in two powerful efforts to complete his treble.

And Jeffers completed the rout in second-half stoppage time when he converted a Michael Bostwick cross.

Peterborough also beat Tranmere 5-0 in League One at Prenton Park in August and repeated the feat at London Road to book their place in Sunday's third-round draw.
