Harry Leonard’s fifth goal in four league matches settled the contest in the 83rd minute as Posh moved up to 16th in the table. And Williams was delighted with the way his team soaked up sustained pressure from Vale before scoring the winner. “I’m so happy with that (the character and fighting spirit shown) because you can’t consistently win being half a team and only turning up when things suit you,” he said. “We had a great start to the game on the front foot and finished the half really, really strongly. It’s another game where Vale have been really competitive, on the front foot, fighting for the cause, but again we switched off in that moment and they capitalised on it.
