LIVE BLOG: Posh vs Bristol City

Key Events

  • 3-2 Bristol City FT
  • Taylor, Grant and Clarke-Harris are replaced by Szmodics, Ward and Coventry
  • Clarke-Harris drops out of the squad
  • 2-2 at the break after 3 goals in 8 minutes
  • Two goals for Szmodics against his old club

Kanu pops straight up a promising area, Dembele’s throughball on the right finds him in but he ignores the shot and tries to pass across goal, even though there are four defenders on his left. Should have done more with that.

Kanu for Ward, straight swap on the wing.

Posh give Williams all the time in the world to cross into the penalty spot, Martin gets up easily above Kent and Cornell has to save down low.

Posh are competing well in this, getting to the edge of the Bristol City area a number of times just needing that final ball. Rarely troubling Bentley though.

Posh win the first header for the first time in a while and it cleared away.

Free-kick on the left for Ward’s foul, great crossing area.

Sensational cross into a good area just in-front of the keeper from Butler but as has been the story a lot of the day, nobody attacks it.

Ward’s corner headed out by Martin, Taylor picks up and shoots through a crowd of bodies on the left from about 35 yards, just wide of the keeper’s near post. He had it covered it seems.

Low ball driven in by Ward, just cleared out as Dembele arrived. Szmodics shoots the rebound, wrong foots Bentley but it drops just wide. Corner.
