Szmodics sent a beautiful diagonal down the right wing to Ward, he gets the ball across the box and in comes Marriott to poke home. Great play from 2 subs.

Ball in from Ward, finds Kent all alone. Onside but a disappointing waft of his foot as he falls to the ground. Easily held.

All Posh on the ball this half so far, getting in behind a different matter though. Marriott tries one from around 25 yards, not far over.

Short corner now from Posh, Szmodics puts a ball in deep, Knight goes over as he tries to head the ball. Empathic no from the ref.
