Peterborough went to the top of League One after coming from behind to comfortably see off Oldham.
Headers from Ritchie Jones and Chris Taylor put the Latics two goals ahead before James Wesolowski pulled one back for Posh on the stroke of half time.
Aaron Mclean drew the sides level with another header before George Boyd rifled past Latics keeper Dean Brill.
A diving header from Dave Hibbert and Grant McCann's stoppage-time penalty completed the impressive comeback.
Oldham player-manager Paul Dickov told BBC Radio Manchester: "We were 2-0 up and we thought we were playing reasonably well, every time we attacked we looked a threat I think they struggled to cope with us.
"We felt we were fairly comfortable first-half and we told them at half-time to do the basic things right. If we had done that today we would have had a good chance to win the game.
"Every single one of my players is better than what they showed today."
