Dean Saunders' third game in charge took place at London Road on Saturday as he and his Doncaster Rovers side went in search of some much needed points away from home.
Rovers have developed an unwelcome reputation as a side which struggle away from home in recent years and the start to this season has been no different.
However, Doncaster have clawed back some self belief and momentum after picking up four points from Saunders' first two games in charge against Crystal Palace and Hull City at The Keepmoat last week.
Saunders has steered Rovers to 7 points from three league games.
Things got off to what you might say is a typical start for Rovers though on Saturday, after going behind to an early goal from Posh midfielder, Grant McCann.
Peterborough had many chances, but failed to take them, which was soon to be their downfall.
In the second half, Rovers looked rejuvenated, and equalized through midfielder Brian Stock's 25 yard+ effort in front of the travelling support.
Then came the winner. Former Bury striker Kyle Bennett grabbing the headlines with a superbly taken individual goal, twisting and turning inside the box, before firing a shot into the bottom corner of the near post.
This first away win of the season takes Rovers out of the relegation places and up to 20th in the Championship table, a result which they may look back on as vital towards the end of the season.
