Shrewsbury nearly add some gloss. Two players rob Fuchs. Pyke then sends over a cross to Bowman as they break. He controls it and shoots across goal but Kent’ dive takes the power off the ball and it’s an easy save.

Marosi collects a Taylor header after a nice move, which saw JCH win the ball and spray it out wide to Butler to cross it in.
Looks like it’s going to be too late for Posh.

Finally another Shrewsbury player booked, Shipley with the foul on halfway. Taylor sends the ball in again. JCH heads the diagonal ball back across goal towards Poku and the keeper gets there first.

Taylor puts a free-kick from deep into the box. JCH is there to battle for the header but out comes Marosi to punch clear.

Great tackle from Fuchs wins the ball back in the final third. It goes to Poku, who shows some good feet to work a shooting chance on the edge of the box but the ball just rolls into the arms of Marosi.
