Peterborough held to goalless draw by Lincoln
Frustrated Peterborough slipped out of the automatic promotion places in League One after being held to a goalless draw at Lincoln.
Darren Ferguson’s promotion chasers dominated possession but failed to break down their hosts.
Michael Skubala’s Imps are still waiting for a first win since the end of November, a run which has now stretched to nine games.
But a second goalless draw on the spin, and a third game without defeat, is a boost after four defeats in a row over the festive period.
There was a lack of chances in the first half as the two sides largely cancelled each other out.
Lasse Sorensen squandered a good chance for the hosts when he fired wide at the near post and Posh goalkeeper Jed Steer did well to hold on to Ethan Erhahon’s curling strike.
Ricky-Jade Jones was denied by the bar (Joe Giddens/PA).
Peterborough hit the crossbar late in the half through Ricky-Jade Jones’ deflected effort.
Lincoln’s Lukas Jensen then produced a good save to beat away Harrison Burrows’ strike.
At the other end Steer superbly kept out Reeco Hackett-Fairchild’s effort, while Danny Mandroiu missed the target with a glorious chance.
