Jones continuing to look bright in the half. Wins Posh a corner. From it, Knight peels off his marker and heads at goal. Deflected just wide. Ward laying it off to Poku seems to be the way Posh are going and its producing good results.

Free-kick sent in from halfway to the box. Falls nicely for JCH to volley. Plenty of power and keeps it low but its wide.

Yellow card for Massey. Not been many fouls at all in this but Jones robbed him and he then tripped him over.

Posh ending the half better. Jones with a brilliant run from left to right. Poku didn’t read the cut back but JCH forces an effort at goal that is well saved.

The ball is then recycled and hung up to the back post. Ward then hangs up a sensational ball to JCH, he heads it down and the keeper does very well to save it and keep the deficit to two.

Another promising moment for Vale. Free kick sent over to the right of the box. Headed on then won by Garrity. The ball across to Harrison is well dealt with by Kent.

First Port Vale attack for a while. Corner headed out well by Jones, who is then hacked down by Harrison.

Poku beats Benning, shock. Drives in a low ball, Posh throw a couple of men at it. Just can’t get on the rebound ,which the keeper didn’t claim.
