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.

Wednesday free-kick left corner on the box, Burrows penalised for a trip, looked soft.

Poku does well to beat Iorfa on the right but his cross is too close to Dawson at the nearpost. Posh still going forward when they get the chance.
