FULL TIME
Posh into the FA Cup fifth round for only the 5th time ever and the first time since 1986.
90 mins 2-0
Headed out and Jones races onto Beevers’ clearance. He heads over Dozzell and is going to be through on goal but he just holds him and won’t let go. Very cynical and a clear yellow. Red card if he’s closer to goal.
87 mins 2-0
Fuchs has just been kicked in the face and the ref hasn’t even given a foul. Incredible. Norburn ends up with a booking for dissent, even though he should technically being allowed to speak to the ref since he’s the captain.
86 mins 2-0
Jones is nearly in again but his first touch deserts him, he actually wins a tackle with Dunne and gets past him but Dickie comes across on the cover, otherwise he’d have a shooting chance inside the box. Moments later, he’s penalised for a foul on Dickie and yellow carded.
81 mins 2-0
The game is still following the same pattern. QPR are screaming for a penalty, Austin beats Kent in the air to head onto Dykes, he’s pursued by Beevers and Benda flies out and he ends up on the floor. Referee not interested.
77 mins 2-0
QPR have definitely looked less threatening since the changes. Taking Chair off was always going to have an impact and all the changes look to have disrupted the visitors. This is far from done though, as we well know.

What an outstanding first-time finish from Jones. It was great work from Fuchs and Mumba to win the ball in midfield, Mumba then breaks forward, plays in Jones on the right of the box. He then sweeps the ball into the corner with a first-time shot. What a goal.

Not sure how but a corner was given. Headed out for a throw but from that, Posh sling the ball into the box, Mumba picks up the rebound, puts it back in, Norburn heads it to Szmodics, the ball drops and he has a choice of a shot from a tight angle or a ball across to Jones. He goes for the pass and it hits Dunne, wrong foots Marshall in goal for a moment but doesn’t have enough on it to roll into the net.

Brilliant clearing header from Beevers. It sets up a Posh counter, which sets up a break. Coulson sprints over halfway and picks the pass to Szmodics at the right time. The angle is a challenge but he gets a shot across goal off.
