Harrison Burrows with his second goal in as many games. Great throw from Ward, lofted over two men into JCH on the right of the pitch. He heads it down to Burrows. He shows great composure to check onto his right and rifle a shot high into the roof of the net past Phillips.

Quiet first few minutes the ball has barely been in play. Cardiff in no hurry to take a couple of throw-ins.

Good solid half from Posh, a bit sharper play in the final third and they could have had a goal, however, they’ve crafted the best openings and Cardiff look slow and reliant on long balls. They seem to be trying to slow the game down at every opportunity.

It was a forceful challenge from Thompson but just about fair. Pack dives in on Dembele and pushes him to the floor, he’s walking a tight rope. Fergie is holding 6 fingers up to the red, presumably the number of fouls he thinks Pack has made.

Brawl in the middle of the pitch, Thompson overhits a first touch and dives into a challenge with Pack. Pack reacts and Flint charges in and pushes Thompson while he’s down and then all the players flew over and got involved.

Yellows for Flint and Pack.

A couple more dangerous balls into the Cardiff box have been repelled. Ward is having so much joy everytime he drives at Bagan, a battle he is clearly winning. Perhaps the best avenue to exploit.
