May stole the show with two brilliant strikes – the first of which will be talked about for some time.
It came out of the blue – a long throw down the line was flicked on to May, who took one touch before attempting an outrageous effort on goal.
The striker struck the ball perfectly on the volley and it looped over Posh goalkeeper Will Norris before bouncing into the back of the net.
Norris was slow to react and perhaps should have done better in his attempt to stop the ball crossing the line.
After half-time May scored another spectacular strike after smashing a loose ball into the top corner from the edge of the box.
Fans were stunned by May’s first effort and praised the hitman on social media.
One supporter said: “That first goal is ridiculous.”
Another added: “Take a bow son

And a third said: “It’s the best double you’ll ever see.”
May himself was delighted with the effort, hailing it a “crazy” goal.
He said post-match: “It’s probably a crazy goal to see — but what a feeling when it went in.
“I didn’t really have any other options, so I thought, ‘I’m having a pop here’.
“I know everybody was thinking ‘what are you doing?’
“But I got really good contact with it. That’s probably the best goal I’ll ever score.”
