What a manic second half

Poku off straight after that.

Joe Taylor on. Strange.

Posh have hit the bar amongst all of that!

Poku out of nothing. Turns and lashes a shot from the edge of the box onto the top of the bar. wow

Great tackle Watts. Rak-Sakyi the latest to find space in this Posh backline. Aaron Henry picks him out well on the left od the box and he tries to turn and shoot.

Great save Blackmore with his lgs. One long ball beats Posh, Sessegnon runs off Kent and blasts it. Posh wide open.

Charlie Kirk replaces Leaburn.

He looked a different man in that half but looked to be struggling with an injury in those last few minutes.

Good play from Kent to take it off the head of Stockley.

Corner Charlton as they press hard for a winner.

Terrible miss from Rak-Sakyi.

Long ball up to Leaburn. he flicks in on. Edwards completely misses a kick. Leaburn then slides it across the box to Rak-Sakyi who is all alone. He shoots first time, looking to guide it into the corner and its well wide.
