Blocked effort from Jones as he looked to go across the keeper. Well done by Hunphreys. Jack Taylor had sent a ball down the middle for him to latch onto.

Almost an equaliser for Posh out of nothing. Nathan Thompson loops a ball over the top. Jones and Marriott are queuing up on the left edge of the box to volley it. Jones leaves it for Marriott to strike but he can only put it into the side-netting.

It’s a bad mistake from the keeper Beach. He’s brought the ball to the edge of his box and played a pass right to Taylor. He’s got no chance of stopping Taylor slot home an easy finish.
