More like it, EMC again sends in a ball, Burrows chests down, plays it out to Taylor on the edge of the box, who drives one, looks on target but Powell just gets a block in, that may well have been heading for the top corner.

One move, Posh exploit the left wing, EMC sends in a cross and JCH drives a header low into the bottom right corner.

More panic stations, ball hoofed up, Norris tries to come but he;s not quite quick enough but Edwards still ducks under it. It lets Tayloe in again but his touch is just too heavy when he takes it round the keeper on the right edge of the box.

Good save down low from Norrid from Taylor, he turned Edwards after Posh pass a throw in all the wah back and give it away. Poor kick from Norris gives it straight back.

Burton are picking everything up in and around the box. Posh can’t get out.

Driven shot from Helm from the left of the box. Norris falls on it.

They won it back after a very aggressive press, Posh don’t like it at all.

Burton starting on the front foot, pressing Posh high and winning a lot of early balls.

Less than a minute for Norris to be almost charged down, just gets away with it.
