JAMIE CUMMING
Made a super reflex stop in the first half, to deny Josh Knight, and then bettered that with an incredible save in second half stoppage time, to push away a Knight header – 9
FIN STEVENS
Booked in the first half and then taken off at the break in order to wipe out the risk of going down to 10 men. No reflection on him though after a solid showing. BOOKED – 7
ELLIOTT MOORE
Rock solid at the back with another excellent captain’s performance – 8
CIARON BROWN
Not afraid to put his head in where it might hurt, with one particular brave headed block standing out. BOOKED. MAN OF THE MATCH – 9
JOE BENNETT
Immense defensive display at left back. Didn’t put a foot wrong all night, and used all of his experience and knowhow to deal with tricky customer Kwame Poku – 8.5

RUBEN RODRIGUES
Had to play a more disciplined role in midfield, but did so very well in the centre of the park – 7.5
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
Tucked away what was a high-pressure penalty like he was at the training ground – 8
TYLER GOODRHAM
Sad to see him forced off just after the half hour mark, but had been busy in the U’s press before his injury – 6.5
OWEN DALE
Got stuck in and did what he had to do from a defensive viewpoint. Won the free kick which ultimately led to the penalty – 7.5
MARK HARRIS
Hasn’t stopped running all season, and that continued again despite being United’s number nine for most of the campaign. BOOKED – 7.5
JOSH MURPHY
Had his moments, more so in the first half, when he gave the Posh a scare with his frightening pace – 7.5
SUBSTITUTES
Marcus McGuane (for Goodrham, 32)
His engine was much-needed, especially in the second half. Almost put the U’s two ahead on aggregate, but his shot went the wrong side of the post – 7.5
Sam Long (for Stevens, 46)
Made a heroic goal line clearance just as seven minutes of stoppage time were added on at the end – 8
Greg Leigh (for Dale, 79)
Marcus Browne (for Bennett, 86)
Unused: Eastwood, McEachran, Bodin.
Substitutes who come on after the 75th minute do not get a rating.
