45 mins Posh sub 1-0 Posh

Jeando Fuchs has been down for the last minute of so, he will have to go off. Looks to be holding his arm to his chest. Jorge Grant will be coming on.

Yates with the latest effort just wide. Blackpool have sprung into life after the goal.

This time Beesley probably should score. Free kick clipped into the Posh box, he catches the Posh defence napping and peels off. The ball is dropping to him all alone just a few yards out but he misses it completely.

Blackpool nearly hit back. They send in a corner, Cornell punches clear but not very far. THe ball is headed back in and Connoly tries to poke towards goal but its wide.

Should be 2. Ward sends a perfect cross in from the right, JCH arrives there ahead of Ekpiteta and scoops it over the bar.

Posh take a deserved lead. Brilliant crunching sliding tackle from Taylor in midfield. Wins the ball and then Poku plays a defence splitting pass to put JCH in one-on-one. He rounds the keeper and sticks it into the net. Has to stop and find the angle, under pressure from Casey but still finds the spot.

Keogh takes a knock defending another ball into the box, he’s now limping off. Replaced by Marvin Ekpiteta.

More dagerous crosses sent into the Blackpool area. Posh are well back on top now, Maxwell ha to flap at one and they scramble away the other. Taylor just not quick enough to pick up a heavy touch from the defender.

The corner is headed out but Posh pick it back and Jones send a shot from range not far wide of the post.
