Peterborough United travel to face Portsmouth in League One action on Saturday (September 3, 3pm).

Posh will be looking to break a three-match losing run across three different competitions but they will have their work cut out.

Portsmouth come into the match as the league leaders, they have scored the most goals in the league- level with Posh admittedly- and are still unbeaten.

Posh will also be without ex-Portsmouth man Nathan Thompson due to suspension but can take heart from their performance at Derby until the referee intervened and reduced them to ten men.

97 mins 2-1 Pompey

Ref is playing extra for the time wasting. Poku spears a ball into the box, headed at goal by Knight. Wide though.

95 mins 2-1 Pompey

Ronnie does very well as Hackett and Bergstrom got into a race back to the goal when it was cleared. Cut out the certain goal.

Posh corner. Bergstom up.

Finally he books a Pompey player for timewasting. Robertson.

94 mins 2-1 Pompey

So much timewasting

93 mins 2-1 Pompey

Just huffing and puffing from Posh. All of the ball still, little to speak of chance wise.

88 mins 2-1 Pompey

Crazy scramble in the box! Ricky has 2 chances to shoot, ball taken off him, JCH has chances. Raggett is lying chest down on the floor, looks like he could even have handballed it but Posh can;t force it in.

Ref then gives a foul against Posh, incredible. No idea what for.

86 mins 2-1 Pompey

Pompey now just sitting deep trying to repel pressure. Good skill and cross from Poku nearly gives EMC a headed chance but Pompey clear on the follow-up volley, Taylor blasts it over.
