Great play Mumba, beats two men on the right, plays in a ball to a great area, headed out.

Posh not playing especially badly, causing problems again as Wilson has to run all the way to the edge of the box to slide the ball away. Absolutely cleans out Dembele in doing so but it looked fair.

Weak shot from Szmodics right into the arms of Wilson. A couple of Posh shots on target today but they have both been exactly like that. he Coventry defence has opened when pressure has been put on but no quality once in behind.

The high press again. Mumba robbed by Sheaf, he slips in Godden who fires quickly across Cornell before he gets a chance to make himself big.

Hyam yellow card. About three minutes he took out Burrows from behind, it just took that long for a stoppage in play. Clear card.

Dembele starting to get the treatment he got at Huddersfield that Stroud also let them get away with, no fouls given.

Coventry. are all over Posh now, have overplayed three times now when into the box, it could be more. They’re streaming into the box with ease, two more last-ditch blocks from Posh.

Coventry are killing Posh with the high press. They catch them out again straight after the restart, Thompson kicks the ball into Knight in the panic, it loops up and out of play just wide of the post. Luckliy for Posh, Stroud inexplicably gives a goalkick.
