  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Peterborough beat Brady's Birmingham 2-0 at Wembley in the Vertu Trophy final on Sunday, winning the competition in back-to-back seasons. Posh have become the first team to do so, and have also managed to eclipse Barcelona. It is all the more impressive given that Birmingham have already been crowned League One champions, and sit 47 points ahead of Posh in the table.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Darren Ferguson's side have visited Wembley on five occasions, and have won every game they have played at England's national stadium. Barca, by comparison, have won all four of their competitive visits. If they return, they will have the chance to equal the League One side.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Hector Kyprianou also made history in the final, as he became the first ever Cypriot player to score at Wembley. His second goal ultimately clinched the club's triumph.
