It’s the 4-2-3-1 for Posh with JCH on. Still more of the same though, Swansea controlling possession and pressing well. Laird tries a low cross to Obafemi on the spot but well read by Taylor.

Nearly 4. Ronnie dawdling on the ball, in his own box, robbed by Piroe, to Cornell’s credit, he reacts quickly, he holds the striker up and makes him and the long way around him and the shooting angle is gone. He tries to cut back from the byline and round the keeper but Edwards now has the time to recover.
57 mins 3-0
Something resembling a press from Posh there as Manning and Paterson are forced all the way back after what looked like a promising move. Very little chances to speak of this second half but Swansea still seeing plenty to the ball.

Posh are indeed paling a four of Butler, Beevers, Edwards, Thompson, Grant has moved to the right wing, Kanu is playing behind him and Szmodics appears to be central with Dembele behind, it was a slightly lop-sided look to it.
Second half
System crash. Sums up the day. Not much to mention from the first four minutes. More Swansea possession, Cornell with the sharp feet to get out of trouble when pressed when in a tight spot on the edge of his six-yard box.
