LIVE: Posh vs Crawley

There's a let off.

Tsaroulla beats Burrows, finds Kelly on the Posh left, ball comes to the backpost, headed out to Knight but only as far as Darcy, he slides the ball back into the six yard box to Orsi who has a weak stab at the ball into the hands of Steer. Should have done much better.

Posh are keeping Crawley interested in this by not really doing much.

Lolos has burst into life and has started causing Posh problems, springs away from Knight and knocks the ball past Steer as he flies out but the touch is just too heavy and Posh manage to scramble away the cross.

Randall for De Havilland

Depp cross, well placed, too many bodies for Steer to get there. Headed out to Adeyemo but blasted way over.

Free-kick on the right edge of the box for Crawley.

Pushed over Katongo.

Katongo for Fernandez

Posh have a great breakaway chance again of the right.

Ajiboye cuts inside the box and surveys his options but finds EMC and Mothersille standing on top of each other, almost forced to shoot. Blocked by the defender.

Crawley go close again, Campbell cuts inside and drills an effort towards the far post, drops just wide.

Posh breakout for the first time in the half, EMC with a lovely thorughball to Burrows, he drives forward to the left edge of the box, slides a ball across the face of goal but there's no one diving to get on it.

Knight with a great block just in front of Steer, Lolos had drifted into the space vacated by Crichlow and got a shot away from just inside the box.
