Today represents the first game in which Posh can berelegated. That would happen unless Posh pick up more points than Reading, who host Swansea.

Picking up the same number of points would not see Posh go down officially but there is no chance of turning around the goal difference gap.

Barnsley are one point worse off than Posh, so both sides will be desperate to win and stay alive, at least for another week.

Great tackle Edwards but it’s corner.

Half way there as Quina runs a ball out of play.

Quina this time shoots from theedge of the box, straight over.

Kent clears but it comes back in, and Cornell claims.

Thye’re still in this, Kitching drives a shot from range, only just over. Looks to have taken a delfection. Corner.

Space opening up now as Barnsley just have to go for it. Szmodics free on the left. Has the space to curl it into the corner but it’s well wide.

Poku drives the ball into the side-netting. Posh have stabilised after a tricky few minutes after JCH went off.

Wow. That’s applaing from Edwards, ball in and he flicks a weak header right into Morris. He has all the time he wants to shoot. It’s an unbelievable save from Cornell. Looked like a horrer miss but the keeper has got his hand upjust in time.
