Delight for top dog Johnson
Peterborough manager Gary Johnson heaped praise on his side after seeing them hit back from two-down to hit five past Oldham and climb to the top of the table.
Ritchie Jones and Chris Taylor gave Oldham a two-goal lead in the first half, but James Wesolowski pulled one back for Posh before the break and efforts from Aaron McLean, George Boyd, Dave Hibbert and Grant McCann's penalty in the second half completed a stunning turnaround.
Johnson said: "Our brief for the season was to get ourselves to the top of the table as quickly as we could.
"We are all delighted to be there after six games and the challenge now is to make sure we stay up there. The players were buzzing when they saw it on the television after the game to confirm what the supporters had been singing.
"All credit to Oldham who scored two good goals. It might have been enough for a lesser team to collapse, but that is not the case where we are concerned.
"We have players who provide a constant threat and we always believe we are capable of scoring goals. Getting four in the second half was a nice bonus and turned it into an exciting and professional performance."
