LIVE: Posh vs Oxford

Kioso takes a yellow for fouling murphy.

Oxford were breaking after Jones gave the ball away on the counter and Posh were caught out of their shape.

Poku wins a corner on the right.

Posh largely passing it around at the back, no Oxford press.

Posh have now started to get some control, just need to find a third to kill it off.

Randall now blasts well over.

It was a great run from Poku down the middle before he laid it off on the edge of the box.

Better from Posh, diagonal ball from Kioso to EMC, he cuts inside and shoots but blasts a shot well over the bar.

Posh haven't started the half. Randall loses it in the Oxford half, one simple ball forward and Murphy is in on goal behind Kioso.

Brilliant recovering run and tackle from Edwards to stop the shot.

Good start from Oxford, Bodin breezes past Burrows and plays in a ball to MeGuane to run on and hit, he places it high and wide though.

Josh Murphy on for Stanley Mills.

Oxford are on the pitch.

Posh aren't yet.

Oxford ending the half better

First little run of possession fro Oxford for a while.

Bilokapic has to fire a goal kick off the pitch under pressure but Posh eventually win the ball back.

It's not sticking up front at the minute though.

Should be 3-0.

Big hoofed clearance from Edwards upfield, Jones hounds the defender and wins the ball. He goes through one-on-one left of the box, keeper comes out and smoothers his effort.

So nearly three.

Another flowing move, right across the box from EMC to Poku, who slides in Randall arriving late on the right, forces a low save from Beadle with his legs.

He's had a good game so far and Jones has his goal.

EMC chests down a pass from Collins, lofts the ball for Jones to run onto.

Looks like the keeper is getting there but he then slips, allows Jones to get there, round him and poke in with his right foot.

Posh are starting to play some really good stuff.

EMC and Randall play a nice one-two in behind the defence before Randall shoots from the left of the box, blocked by Jones in the end.
