Peterborough battled to victory against a Hartlepool side that hit the woodwork on three occasions.

Dean Keates gave Posh the lead when he curled in a great free-kick after Sam Collins had fouled Aaron Mclean a yard outside the area.

Andy Monkhouse equalised when his corner crept past Joe Lewis before George Boyd slotted in the winner.

But the home side will count themselves unlucky with Joel Porter, Monkhouse and David Foley hitting the woodwork.
