LIVE BLOG: Posh vs Fulham

Key Events

  • 3pm kick off
  • Nathan Thompson suspended
  • Jonson Clarke-Harris heavily tipped to return to the starting line-up
  • Fulham sit second and have scored 43 goals, 16 more than anyone else
  • Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored more league goals than Posh, 19 to 17

Kebano was finding more and more space, Ward looks knackered and its that side that has been the downfall. Kebano beats him again and chips a ball into the box and there is an unmarked Mitrovic to head across goal and give Fulham the lead.

Fulham having a spell, pinning Posh back now. Posh look like they are tiring.

Ward beaten by Kebano on the right, ball in finds its way across to Reid. Drags it wide when it looked easier to get an effort on target.

So it proves, great ball over the top from Norburn, gets Szmodics running at Ream. He can never get goalside of him though and his effort across Rodak is rather comfortably saved.

Great feet Wilson, jinks past Butler, cuts a ball back and it’s a great block from Norburn to get the ball out. Bit more of an end-to-end game now.

Nasty tackle from Kebano on JCH absolutely flattens him. Yellow card. The free-kick, on halfway, easily headed away.

JCH offside again. It’s just aswell because its a poor finish one-on-one that he balloons over the bar from around ten yards out. He was fed through by Dembele but in truth, it was an easy decision.

Oh hello, out of nothing a chance for Posh. Great interception from Norburn off the foot of Seri, feeds Szmodics and he charges into the box, puts a ball across goal that Ream only scuffs to Dembele. He has time and should do better than he does, the ball rather skids off his foot into the path of JCH but he is well offside.

The ball is just coming back this half. Same very lax passing from Posh in forward areas. An hour gone, much more of a hanging on job this half.
