LIVE BLOG: Luton vs Posh

Key Events

  • 3-0 Luton FT
  • Adebayo gives Luton the lead from a corner after half an hour
  • JCH and Marriott have just one pre-season appearance each but could start
  • First game back at Championship level for Posh since 2013
  • Luton score twice in three second half minutes
  • Taylor, Marriott and Dembele miss out completely

Muskwe drives past Thompson like he isn’t there, shoots low but the angle is against him and Pym gets his body in the way.

Cornick is replaced by Zimbabwean international Admiral Muskwe.

Tough for Posh now, just have to get through the last 15 minutes, see if they can find an opening. Butler plays a good ball to the backpost which JCH brings down on his chest but he is bundled off it.

Tame pass out of play from Hamilton with Szmodics a few feet away. Sums up the day.

It’s never really been good let’s be honhest but it’s going downhill fast. The second in three minutes is tapped in by Onyendinma after picking up a rebound in the box, following a good Pym save. Posh second to the second ball, as they have been most of the afternoon.

Onyendinma

Confirmation of the sub. Edwards has replaced Kent and Posh move to a back three.

Oh blimey in all the the celebrations. Fergie has whipped Kent off. It was him who gave the ball away on the left, as many have done at the back to be fair to him, and Luton break through Mpanzu he slides a ball across the box and there is Cornick to tap in.

Long delay before the freekick is taken as Nathan Jones gets a booking for his protests, put well wide in the end.
