LIVE: Posh vs Port Vale

Break in play as a Port Vale defender goes down injured.

Posh have started well here, dominating the ball.

Ojo booked for brining down Poku as he charges over halfway.

Another decent opportunity, Jones slides in on the keeper and only narrowly misses out on getting the ball. The keeper panics and hooks the ball out of play

Great chance for EMC, Lowe makes a poor attempt to challenge him, he bursts past him to the edge of the box, looks like he had a chance to shoot but tries to work a better angle, cuts one way and then another and drags an effort wide.

Early Port Vale free kick headed out by Posh.
