LIVE: Posh vs Port Vale

As comfortable as wins get

Great save Steer, out of nothing Garrity produces a cracking volley from 25 yards out he has to push over the bar.

Mothersille makes the keeper make a save at the near post with his feet, decent first time shot.

Crichlow on for Knight

EMC first in a great cross, Mothersille challenges for it in the air but it’s Iacovitti who gets there first and heads it low past his own keeper into the bottom corner, the second time he’s headed past his own keeper in the match.

Ikpeazu yellow, cleans Knight out as he makes a clearance.

Poku fires towards the top left corner after receiving a cutback from EMC on the D, decent save to push it over.

Yellow for Lowe, loses control of the ball, lunges in on Edwards to try and get it back.
