Headed away, just! My word, how ridiculous.

Mk free kick. Thompson fouls Lawrence 30 yards out.

Well this just got interesting, when it shouldn’t have done. Posh holding it n the corner.

Bergstrom, doesn’t cover himself in glory for the first but the second one is on him. Comes out for no reason with MK having the ball on the edge of the box. Smith chips him and it’s 3-. Two to go.

Big ball over the top, Harvie springs the offside trap and finds himself with about 5 yards of space. Put into the corner.

MK on top now, not banging down the door but testing Posh wil plenty of balls into the box.

Dangerous free kick, Kent heads it away but its put back in and Bergstrom has to put it over the bar.

Mk have just won a corner, it was a good sliding block from Knight. Big ironic cheer from the crowd. Ball played all the way out into the midfield but Marriott bundles Johnson over.

MK clearly desperate, dive from Harvie. Should have been booked.

Posh have gone back to the 4-3-3 it looks like. Nathan Thompson has Cumming worried with a cross that has him scrambling. Over the bar though.

Yellow for Johnson, fouls Taylor and then shouts at the ref.

Randall on for JCH, Kyprianou for Fuchs- who was on a yellow.

Last ten. Exodus of the people who were here (reluctant to call it a crowd) starting to begin.

Oyegoke limps off, replaced by Henry Lawrence at wing back.

Quick throw from Burrows, get Marriott a chance. He tries to push it past Tucker and curl it into the far corner but he hits it a bit straight and the keeper stops it.
