LIVE: Oxford vs Posh

Everyone out there should be ashamed

90 mins 5-0 Oxford

Defence just decided not to try for that.

Bodin in acres of space from a free kick pumped up, beats Edwards and Fernandez without having to try and chips over Steer and into the roof of the net from the left of the box.

86 mins 4-0 Oxford

Half-hearted shot from Burrows blocked from just inside the box.

Oxford just sitting in now and waiting for the whistle to go.

Ajiboye gets some credit, some good balls into the box and good running.

McEachran, Goodhram off

James Henry, Oisin Smyth on

Nearly 5 again, Leigh basically waved into the penalty area by the Posh defence and hits the inside of the far post from the left of the box.

78 mins 4-0 Oxford

Great chance for 5-0

Casual finish from Browne when slid in one-on-one with Fernandez caught too high. Steer comes out and makes the save.

77 mins 4-0 Oxford

Fernandez almost playing as a striker when Posh have the ball in the final third, not that its come to much.

McGuane and Bodin on

Rodrigues and Dale off
