Posh find Dembele and he wins a corner.

Gilbey, who blatantly dived the the penalty booked for hauling down Dembele from a rare Posh break.

Long ball forward by Inniss, latches onto by Gilbey. Kent is right with him but he spots Bursik off his line and tries to lob him, not enough power on it though.

Ball to Inniss at the back post but he’s all over Beevers and pulls him down, foul.

Flashed right across the face of goal and cleared out by Beevers for another one.

More pressure down the left, Kent deflects a header from a Stockley header just over the bar. Corner.

So much space for Charlton at the moment. Forster-Caskey in acres of space in the middle to pick out Millar on the left, who isn’t closed down by Ward and the ball comes in, cleared by Kent, just.

Posh still determined to press but Charlton have settled back into their rhythm of holding onto the ball.

Good move, ends in a Szmodics dinked ball for Ward to run onto on the right of the box, he gets there but a heavy touch takes it to Amos.
