LIVE: Posh vs Derby

One to go. Posh won’t have time here.

Derby have a free kick in their own half.

Posh have one back. Ball into the box from a corner.

Knight volleys a vicious shot at the keeper, saves down low but it pops out right to Poku to slam it into the top corner.

Derby still the ones dominating the ball.

Collins wastes a pretty good chance on the edge of the box with a wild swing while unoppossed. Well over the bar.

First booking for Derby.

Forsyth trips Jones as he tries to come forwards, by accident but still a yellow.

Another Posh corner, short to Burrows.

Takes a touch and sends a dipping shot just wide of the far post, keeper taken by surprise.

Yesterday’s two signings are on

Midfielder Fornah and striker John-Jules.

Waghorn and Hourihane off.

Posh are still coming forward.

Poku fires into the hands of Wildsmith after Burrows wriggles free on the left but just over runs the ball and has to settle for a corner that Derby clear.
