Savage Held on Peterborough Home Bow as Fleetwood End Six-Game Wait
Robbie Savage's first home league game in charge of Peterborough ended in a 2-2 draw with Burton.
It looked as if Gbemi Arubi's 89th-minute wonderstrike had earned Albion their first win in three, but Matt Garbett responded with a 96th-minute leveller to snatch his side a point.
Peterborough got off to the perfect start as Owura Edwards tapped home Harry Leonard's cross in the second minute, but the visitors were soon level through Charlie Webster's deflected strike. Arubi's athletic effort flew wide in the second half, but he was not to be denied twice as he took aim and found the target from the halfway line — only for Garbett to level with a last-gasp rebound.
Savage had started his time at London Road with a 3-1 win at Leicester last Saturday.
Elsewhere in League One, Aaron Collins scored the winner as MK Dons beat Luton 2-1 to claim a first league victory of the season. Alex Gilbey fired the Dons ahead with a fine strike before Jordan Clark equalised for the visitors, but Collins's penalty won the match to condemn Luton to a third defeat in their past four games.
Fleetwood end wait as Rooney and Coughlan strike
Fleetwood secured a first league win in six attempts with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Rotherham at Highbury. Fleetwood, who will host Arsenal in the Carabao Cup at the end of the month, controlled large parts of the game and were good value for all three points.
After a goalless first half, it took less than a minute of the second period for the home side to take the lead. A neatly worked corner routine found Finley Potter in the middle of the area and he deftly backheeled the ball into the path of Shaun Rooney, who slotted home coolly at the far post.
With 10 minutes left of normal time, Fleetwood then made sure of all three points through Ronan Coughlan's header from Crispin McLean's cross.
Nine-man Shrewsbury hold on
Shrewsbury beat Bristol Rovers 1-0 despite ending the game at the New Meadow with nine men. George Lloyd's late penalty proved enough for the hosts to claim victory, but they had to do it the hard way after Jay Turner-Cooke and Isaac Fletcher were sent off in the last 10 minutes.
It meant the Shrews, beaten once in their previous six league games, condemned Rovers to a fifth defeat in six league outings.
