A bit end to end now as both sides carrying a threat.
Burrows seees a shot blocked by a crowd of bodies, just before Norris has to come out well to smoother an Ahmade poke at goal after he outmuscled Kent.
To be fair, Ahmade looks about 7 foot.

22 mins 2-0 Posh
Unbelievable. Posh nearly give a goal straight back. Norris comes out to the edge of his box well to but out a long ball. He lays it off well to Ogbeta, who inexplicably turns backwards and plays a pass backwards to Edwards, excpet he gives it right to Burton’s Taylor, Norris ends up having to close down an open goal for Gilligan.
It then bounces back off Ahadme for a goal kick.
