That’s that. 2-0. Plenty to be proud for Posh.

Incredible miss from Laporte. Zinchenko clips the ball into the box, it’s headed across goal to Laporte by Stones, who has an open goal but he manages to skew it wide. Absolutely incredible.

Knocked clear by JCH.

City corner as we tick into the 90th minute.

Grealish tries an audacious chip over Benda from the left edge of the box. Brown isn’t quite tight enough but the big German is equal to the effort and tips of over the bar.

Posh trying their hardest. It’s harder for the ball to stick upfront now but they haven’t stopped going all game. Three to go.

Posh have lost their outball now. They try a ball over the top to Marriott. It’s a lovely one from Grant but he doesn't have the pace to get away from Laporte. He does well on the cover.

Gundogan drives it into the wall.

Free-kick on the edge. Grealish tripped by Clarke-Harris.

Posh subs.

Burrows for Coulson. Mumba for Ward.
