LIVE BLOG: Sheffield United vs Posh

Key Events

  • 6-2 Sheffield United FT
  • Posh thumped by rampant Sheffield United side
  • Before today, Sheffield United had just one goal and two points in the league
  • Posh went in level at the break after Marriott’s first goal in a year
  • Posh conceded two goals in three minutes twice in the second half
  • Late JCH penalty was nothing more than a consolation
  • Posh slip to 23rd in the league

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.

Just what Posh need, the giant Oli McBurnie replaces Gibbs-White, who has been excellent.

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

He’s injured himself doing it but Ndiaye makes it 5. Sharp stands up a ball from the left byline. Ndiaye has to run backwards and arch his neck to head home but does so well after being left unmarked. He lands awkwardly as he falls and is receiving treatment.

The wingbacks have been virtually non-existent in a defensive capacity today. Fleck heds down to Ndiaye on the edge of the Posh box, Gibbs-White drifts out to the right into a acre of free space. Gets the pass and lashes right into the top corner of the nearpost.
