Peterborough United boss Grant McCann was hailed for a ‘tactical masterclass’ by one happy fan after Tuesday’s 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at the Weston Homes Stadium.

The fans were certainly buzzing after goals from Jonson Clarke-Harris and Jack Taylor propelled Posh up to second place.

Taylor won the unofficial twitter poll to find a Posh man of the match with Joe Ward a close second.

Excellent win, but lack creative quality. Joe Ward man of the match by quite a long way in my opinion.

Red card changed an even game, very professional and created plenty of chances. Wardy MoM obviously.

@Sweeney95Alex

Odd first half. Won through persistence MOM Joe Ward

@TobyWoody

Can Taylor play like that consistently?! MoM - easily Jack Taylor. I was thinking he could be dropped, but he did everything that you would want him to do tonight. Outstanding.

@PeterboroughJoe

We’re singing in the rain/terrace. MOM has to be Joe Ward. Great team performance though and notable mentions for Fuchs, Kent, JCH & Marriott too.

@TheKittMan

Jack Taylor & Joe Ward were unplayable! MOM Taylor.

Red changed game, but well deserved. MOM Joe Ward.
