So easy. Billy Sharp turns away from Knight, mid way into the Posh half, passes to McBurnie, who spins and rolls it into the path of the onrushing Osburn as he breezes past Ward. Buries it past Pym into the left hand side of the net.

Not sure there’s going to be enough time for a sensational comeback as Freeman sees another shot blocked, he’s been the centre of everything since he came on, blocked. From the resulting corner, Baldock is just ignored as he wiats for the short pass, fortunately his ball in is well over everyone.

As the game might be finally settling down, it’s a good time to say that the penalty was the foul was the first one the referee has given Posh in the entire match. He’s had plenty of opportunities aswell.

It’s nearly 6-2. Butler and Kent do their best to hold up Baldock and Freeman and Baldock on the edge of the box, they get drawn to the ball and Baldock knocks it off Freeman who has a free go at the top right corner from the edge of the box, however, he puts is over. He’ll think he should have scored that.

Jonson rolls it down the centre after he cons the ref into giving it. It’s really not a penalty, sorry to say. Next to no contact with Egan, I suppose you have to say well won.

Osborn has had the beating od Ward all day, puts in another great ball, this time Freeman meets it at the far post, just over. Yet, another ball into the box they have won.

Another self-destructive spell and it’s 5. A reminder that Sheff U had scored only one league goal this season until today. Posh have now gone to the diamond with Taylor at the base and Grant at the tip.
Posh: Szmodics and Marriott off, JCH and Grant on
Sheff U: Norwood and Ndiaye off, Luke Freeman and Conor Hourihane on
