LIVE: Posh vs Oxford

A great Posh performance

Mothersille for Jones

A Football League debut.

Great play from Kyprianou to win the ball on the left, clip it over to Ajiboye and he showed great feet to twist and turn and pick out De Havilland in the middle of the box.

He hits the ball into the turf and into the back of the net.

Posh keeping the ball upfield better now.

De Havilland denied by a good shooting chance from Ajiboye's cross by a good tackle

Bodin off, Smyth on

Randall off for De Havilland

Ajiboye for Poku

Katongo has done well since Murphy came on, the winger has drifted out of he was running out there.

Free-kick 3o yards out for Oxford.

Into the wall and then the follow up blocked, corner.

Into a great area, first header won by Oxford and it's a great block Kyprianou to get it away. O'Donkor smashes the rebound over.

Change up top

Mark Harris off, Gatlin O'Donkor on

Another good save Beadle, defence-splitting cross-field pass from Poku to EMC on the edge of the box, he controls it and drills it low, sharp reflexes.

Posh may have seen through the storm.

Posh are protecting Kioso here, he;s just gone through Goodrham with a sliding tackle that probably was a foul, Oxford are also trying to get him sent off.

Great effort from Poku, could have eased all the nerves. Dug out from the edge of the box and it's a great diving save Beadle, right into the corner it was heading.

Posh have retreated right back, there's nothing going forward anymore.

Back underway, looks like Posh are just trying to slow things down a bit, Oxford attacking with much more purpose.

Rodrigues off, Goodrham on

Joe Bennett also on Thorniley off.

Rodrigues goes down off the ball. Physio on.

Posh get themselves into an almighty mess.

Gave the ball away on multiple occasions to put themselves in trouble.

First Kioso gave it away to Murphy on the left of the box he had to made a diving block.

Then Randall loses the ball on the edge of the box, ball sent in that Bilokapic has to punch away. Falls to Mcguane and he rifles a shot towards the top corner, Bilokapic has to get up brilliantly to save.
