That was just incredible

Nearly5 right at the end. Great run by Burrows right down the middle, plays it off Poku, he skips past the defneder and shoots but it’s a good save by Dawson.

JCH down with a touch of cramp as he fouls Iorfa.

First Posh sub, Jones on for EMC

Another easy claim for Norris from a Johnson header.

Seconds of the 90 to go.

Wednesday still doing what they can. Posh trying to shut things down, the crowd really lifting Posh. Two to go of normal time.

Ihiekwe off, James on.

Corner well claimed by Norris.

5 to go. The noise in here is unbelievable and so is the performance.

Wow, wow, wow.

JCH heads in at the far post after the ball is put in by Taylor himself. Moments before Dawson had saved a Taylor effort into the post.

Posh seem to have got out of that moment of severe pressure and have got back up the field, won a few free-kicks. Look like they’re trying to slow the game down though.

Norris down again, hope he’s ok!

It’s off the line again!

Kyprianou gets it away this time, Posh rocking all of a sudden.

Another free-kick on the left.

Ball goes to the backpost, shot driven back in, big appeals for handball. Ref waves away.

Second one comes in and causes an almighty scramble as Norris drops it. Kyprianou hooks off the line.

Norris currently down.
