LIVE: Posh vs Pompey

Posh corner, Poku shot blocked.

Posh break out, great football, cut through Pompey, Katongo and Burrows exchange passes but when it comes to the shot, Burrows blasts it into the back of the London Road End.

Posh are holding up.

Yengi nearly adds a secondm first he has a shot blocked from the middle of the box, then he has one at the near effort saved by Steer.

Pompey free-kick on the edge of the box.

Pompey score a breakaway.

Bishop to White, cross-field ball to Yengi and ends up running at Edwards, the space opens up for him as he gets into the box and he smashes it under Steer.

Poku and Sparkes get into a fight after Burrows cross towards them both is caught by Norris, they square up until Jones comes running over the break it up.

Yellows for both.

Booking for Mouinsho as he's not happy for De Havilland getting a foul in the final third.

He's been whinging all day.

Randall sends an effort well over from 25 yards, Jones had done well to sprint and close down Raggett to win it.

Posh are getting pushed back now. Struggling to get hold of the ball when they try and get the ball forward.

Bit of Pompey pressure now. Swanson and Kamara are a handful down the right.

Bishop volleys an effort well wide 30 yards out.
