This could be a long day. Thompson dives in on Manning on the left edge of the box. Free kick

Easy as you like. Thompson gives the ball away in the centre of the pitch, one pass forward from Swansea and Piroe has the ball on the edge of the box, he works himself some space and fires into the corner at Cornell’s near post.

Dangerous ball into the area by Bidwell, headed down by Ntcham but Edwards manages to clear. The wing backs are finding plenty of space.
Posh may have to rethink their tactic of not pressing, they can’t get a touch here. Swansea do this to teams every week. Given time on the ball, they won’t give it up.
The ball is passes wide to Paterson, whose long range shot flies just wide of Cornell’s right-hand post.
Posh haven’t even touched the ball. Swansea pinged it around between them for a minute, Beevers decided to break the line and press Naughton right into the Swansea half, Burrows doesn’t drop back and his ball over the top finds Laird in all kinds of space on the right he then slides a cross into the box from the right and it’s a tap-in for Bidwell.
