Hull did so with Grant McCann and looked well set to remain in the division under his leadership.

That was until a change of ownership and it was decided that he would be replaced by Shota Arveladze.

He has his chance to take his revenge today as Hull are the opponents for his first game back in charge of Posh.

Key Events

  • Hull have won 1 in 7 under Shota Arveladze

Smith stings the palms of Benda from range, he gets down well.

Grant dawdling on the ball. Gets robbed by KLP, he keeps running puts it through the legs of Benda when he gets into the box. No one can get to the ball as it trickles over the line.

First positive bit of attacking play in the half. Ball hoofed over the top down the left, Jones chases it, touches it out of the air very well. No one there for the cross is. Morton arrives late and wants a penalty for a push in the back but it looks a dive.

Hull look reasonably content with their lead and comfortable in the knowledge that Posh can’t break them down.

Knight yellow, pushes Fleming away, who proceeds to roll on the floor asking for a booking. Ref grants his wish.

65 mins Posh sub 0-2

Grant replaces Brown.

Fleming floats the free-kick just wide of Benda’s near post, he dived at full stretch.

Hull free-kick now on the left corner of the box. Big slide tackled from Norburn and there was no advantage.

A few moments in the attacking half for Posh but final ball missing. Ingram catches a couple of corners, as he has done all game.
