Boss Nigel Adkins was pleased to see his Scunthorpe United side secure a first league win of the campaign with a 1-0 home victory over Peterborough United.

A Paul Hayes penalty right on the stroke of half-time decided the game at Glanford Park and Adkins was content with the performance.

He told the Evening Telegraph: "We've got the result we needed as a group. We stuck together and the lads have worked extremely hard this week.

"I can't underline enough that we have got a talented group of players assembled at this football club.

"We've done it now, we've got a clean sheet and a well-deserved victory and when the lads are back in on Monday, we'll get ourselves prepared for two very tough away fixtures."
