Adil Nabi floated in a corner from the left and skipper Jack Baldwin climbed highest to head in at the far post.Peterborough doubled their lead straight after half-time when Lee Angol fired in from close range after being set up by strike partner Shaquile Coulthirst.It looked game over when Angol drilled in from 15 yards to extend Peterborough's advantage to 3-0 in the 69th minute but Shrewsbury began a spirited fightback five minutes later, with sub Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro bending home a fine strike.The hosts then struck twice in the final five minute, with Andy Mangan and then Jack Grimmer heading in from Akpa Akpro crosses, to level it up at 3-3Taylor then won it for Peterborough with a low shot from just inside the box before Shrewsbury midfielder Ian Black was sent off for a second bookable offence with time almost up.
