Peterborough United beat Wigan Athletic in a match that produced an extraordinary volume of goals and substitutions, though the final scoreline and Wigan's tally were not confirmed in the available details beyond Peterborough's single goal.
What is clear is that the opening exchanges were frantic. Kyrell Lisbie scored twice inside the first nine minutes to put Peterborough in command before the game had settled into any rhythm. Wigan responded quickly: Joe Taylor pulled one back in the 27th minute, and Christian Saydee added another just sixty seconds later to level the contest.
The game tilted again before half-time. Jimmy Morgan scored in the 41st minute, and Callum Wright extended Peterborough's lead two minutes later, sending the home side into the interval with a two-goal cushion.
The second half brought a triple substitution for both sides around the hour mark, and the game opened up further. Saydee scored his second of the afternoon in the 66th minute to reduce the deficit again, keeping Wigan in contention. Harry Leonard came on and made an immediate impression, while Pemi Aderoju and further changes added to the unsettled nature of the closing stages.
Lisbie completed his hat-trick with a goal in the 82nd minute, and again in the 90th to finish with four on the day, sealing Peterborough's victory. His performance was the defining factor, repeatedly punishing a Wigan defence that could not contain him across ninety minutes.
