Good win for Posh after 4 straight league defeats.

Posh just controlling things as the time ticks down. A couple to go.

Marriott fires wide after Harrison heads over.

Likely to be more than 5 as Ward being down started before the board went up. Posh 4-3-2

but Ward limps off. Posh to finish with ten.

Ward takes another late tackle. Looks in pain.

Decent chance for Vale there. Garrity heads down a ball into the box, Harrison throws out a leg and diverts it wide. Looked a half-hearted effort at what looked like a goos chance.

Great chance for EMC to get his first goal for the club. Knight finds Ward, he plays a one-touch cross across the box to Randall. It goes beyond him but EMC arrives at the back post but blasts a diving effort over the bar.

It’s getting feisty now, Port Vale with some spicy tackles and Posh returning the favour. Vale know the games is up and appear to be taking out some frustration.

JCH off for Ephron Mason-Clark

Ward has the bug now, shoots from 35 yards in the middle of the pitch. Just over.
