Thompson replaced by Mason.

Dangerous ball in from Morgan from the left Stockley is arriving at the back post, Bursik isn’t getting the ball beats everyone.

Reed replaces Hamilton. Seems like a change with keeping hold of the ball more in mind.

Bit better spell from Posh but Thompson is struggling to contain Millar on the left.

A few more spaces opening up. Kent does well again to take the ball off the foot of Forster-Caskey in the box as he looks to shoot. The ball is then looped over to Szmodics with Dembele running clear in the middle, unfortunately his ball to Dembele is cut out.

Out of nowhere Posh make a chance, Dembele spokes through to Szmodics on the left hand side of the box. He’s clear but Amos closes down the space and he pokes over, another poor effort one-on-one.

Millar blazes an effort from a tight angle on the left over the bar. he slipped in after Thompson got drawn into the middle and was beaten in the air.

Posh just can’t get out, both Szmodics and Dembele shirk challenges to win it back after Kent heads clear a cross right into Stockley.

Great run from Gilber, picks it up almost in his own half, brushes off Taylor and skips past Kent as he makes a half-hearted attempt. He shoots from the edge of the box low to the right of Bursik, who holds well. He had to because Millar was waiting for any rebound.

Deep ball to Taylor but he can’t do much more with the header than direct it on target.
