Darlington bounced back from a goal down to avoid equalling a club record ninth successive defeat with victory against big-spending Peterborough. The visitors took the lead in the 23rd minute when Adam Smith coolly side-footed past home keeper Lee Jones.
But David Wheater headed in a Clark Keltie free-kick to level and then Julian Joachim's header from Neil Wainwright's cross put Darlo ahead.
Joachim raced clear on the hour to seal the Quakers' first win since November.
