Poku plays a nice pass out wide to Burrows, who hits a first time cross to Szmodics in the middle, who smashes the ball home. 3-0!

Just before Carey had a shot from distance that was deflected just wide. Jones broke away and made it all the way to the final third but CJ Hmailton tracked him all the way and did well.

Joe Ward is down holding his face on the touchline. In the meantime, Blackpool will bring on Luke Mariette for Sonny Carey.

Derby are currently losing to Cardiff. Posh would finish 22nd as it stands.

Sammie Szmodics slots home under pressure from 2 defenders. It was an exquisite ball chipped over the top from Jones to put hm in.
