Peterborough booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Milton Keynes Dons.
Goals from Richard Logan and Mark Arber proved to be enough to give Barry Fry's men the victory.
Both sides would have been happy to be given the distraction of The FA Cup due to their disappointing league form.
The home side started in brisk fashion and were unlucky not to score in the opening five minutes when Gareth Edds struck the crossbar.
Arber saw a shot cleared off the line and Callum Willock forced a fine save out of David Martin as Peterborough began to gain control.
Allan Smart became the second man to hit the woodwork for the home side on 34 minutes when his neat chip clipped the crossbar.
Peterborough broke the deadlock right on the stroke of half time when David Farrell picked out Logan and he slotted the ball past Martin.
On-loan Arber doubled the lead on 57 minutes when he converted from close-range.
