Bursik gives the ball away with a casual first time pass straight to Smith. Fortunately for him, his ball into the box is halfway between a cross and a shot and no good to anyone.

Posh launch a couple of corners into the box, both cleared at the second attempt. They look vulnerable at the back.

That’s excellent play from Dembele. On the left, he takes on Wright and then Butler to get right to the six yard box, level with the post. He lays it off to JCH, who shoots into the ground and the ball is headed off the line.

JCH shoots straight into the keeper’s hands.

Free-kick, good hold up play on the edge of the box from JCH before he’s pulled down.

Dear me, Bursik comes for the ball in and misses in, Donny get a header towards goal in a crowded box and Beevers has to throw his leg into take it off the line. Butler then heads clear.

Donny corner. Straight on the attack.

Lovely goal from Ward. Thompson plays a simple ball into Ward, who cuts in onto his weaker left foot and smashes into the far left corner.

Good chance to get a ball in from Szmodics. After Ward wins the ball on the right, he picks him out wide and he runs into the box but sees both of his attempted crosses blocked.
