Posh had no real choice but to go for it a man down.

They’ve been picked off. Russell picks up the ball in the middle of the Posh half, drives forward and fires into the corner of the net from around 25 yards.

That’s that then

Posh down to ten.

Mills saw a cross charged down, ball falls loose. He charges back to try and win to back and goes slides into a challenge with O’Keefe.

It did look a foul for sure, red, I’m not so sure

Harley Mills sent off

78 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Great tackle from Wallin to prevent Cosgrove getting a tap-in as Barnsley break down the right. Poor defending before that mind...

Posh can’t get any sustained pressue, still mostly Barnsley with the ball.
