Riyad Mahrez produced a moment of quality to fire past Steven Benda and break the deadlock with an hour gone, before Phil Foden’s outrageous long-range pass set up Jack Grealish to score a second seven minutes later.
Joao Cancelo, Foden and Grealish all had chances to extend our lead but Peterborough stood firm, before Ayemric Laporte miscued from close range in added time.
