High to JCH but he gets no power on his header into the ground.

CORNER. THAT HAS TO BE IT

Threatening to get away here. Posh can’t get through the lines.

Posh looking desperate now, too rushed. Burrows crosses over everyone with his wrong foot. Poor

Good defending from Wright on the left, outmuscles Burrows and wins the foul when he puts his arms on his back.

Kent dives in on Lokilo, from behind. Yellow card, nowhere near the leg-breaking challenge the Doncaster players are trying to convince the ref it was.

John-Jules scuffs over from Richards’ cut back, end-to-end stuff here.

That could have been something. Thompson picks up on the edge of his own box, plays a great ball all the way upfield to Szmodics, he takes a touch and gets caught Horton at right back, he cuts it back for Dembele but the ball gets caught under his feet when a shooting chance had really opened up He ends up skewing tamely wide.
