Colin Larkin struck to salvage a point for Northampton in this local derby with Peterborough at Sixfields.

George Boyd gave the visitors the lead as he finished superbly from 20 yards after some good work from Craig Mackail-Smith.

But Northampton fought back strongly and drew level when Larkin hammered in Luke Gutteridge's pull-back.

The home side lost Jason Crowe in the final minute as he was sent off for his second bookable offence.
