LIVE: Posh vs Crawley

Posh get over the line

Posh have spent the last minute keeping the ball in the corner, winning two free-kicks.

Big save Steer.

Knight thought there was more power on a bouncing ball there than there was as he tries to see it out of play.

He loses out to Orsi who shoots from a tight angle at the near post. Steer has to dive low to make the stop.

Great clearing header from Crichlow from the corner.

Ball comes in from a free-kick after Katongo fouled Darcy on the right edge of the box, foul on Burrows.

Crawley starting to get on top.

Not mush coming from the forward line for Posh now. Corbett has gone to the left, EMC up front.

Corbett for Mothersille

Mothersille down on the far side, may be cramp.

and again!

EMC sees a shot deflected wide for a corner, EMC heads the deep ball back into the middle. It falls for Crichlow to lash an effort off the underside of the bar.

Great chance Posh, out of nothing Katongo gives Mothersille a ball run onto, Drives past Ransom, all the way down the wing and he cuts into the box, stops, fools the keeper and plays the ball to Randall.

He has so much space to smash the ball home but slides a weak effort at goal Maguire slides off the line.

Could have sealed it.
