Powell straight into the hands of Norris.

Real belief from Posh now, seem to have seen off a strong Burton period.

Fuchs on for Norburn, not seen mich of the ball today.

Ooh, nearly a spectacular bicycle kick from EMC. Taylor won the ball high and chipped over a cross with only one man to aim for. It was a great effort but just over the bar.

It looked a good effort from JCH before a yellow shirt throws a leg out to condede a corner.

Burrows send s the corner to the nearpost and Burton clear.

Fergie has to get the assist for that.

Taylor fires a diagonal across to Ward on the right, cuts in from the right, and fires with his left off the near post and into the net.
