94 min 0-1
It’s on target from JCH, it bounces in front of the keeper but he beats is away. Unbelievably, it doesn’t go out for a corner.
90 mins 0-1
Posh pressing high now but Fulham being stubborn and sitting in, Posh looking for the right ball. Cairney takes a yellow for kicking the ball away after a Posh free-kick is given in their own half. Handball now from Ream. Free-kick 25 yards from goal, left of the box. Won’t be many more chances.

Norburn in the book now, brings down Wilson from behind when he tires to go on a run in the Posh half.
89 mins 0-1
Mitrovic down and now taken off for centre-back Alfie Mawson. They are going to sit in then, that is encouraging.
86 mins 0-1
Nearly a corner goal! Butler puts the ball in, Kent heads it towards goal, it hits Ream and JCH is suddenly interested after initially having his back to the play. He can’t poke it on target though. Posh coming on strong again.
83 mins 0-1 WHAT A SAVE
Posh have come so close to equalising. Great work from Dembele to win the ball in his own half, bring it forward and lay it into the path of JCH who has space on the right, he cuts past his Robinson well and gets a good shot at goal, Rodak though manages to throw out an arm and deflect it onto the post.
81 mins 0-1
All Fulham now, Posh really trying to dig into keep this score down to one now and hoping a chance presents itself.
79 mins 0-1 Posh sub
Edwards comes on for Beevers, I’d expect that to see a change to a three. Taylor also limping and not moving particularly freely.
