Posh made a good fist of the first half and even created the better chances but as the second wore on, the visitors began to take control. Posh were able to ride out the storm though and shut out a Bournemouth side that boasted the likes of Jamal Lowe, Dominic Solanke and David Brooks.

Excellent at stopping crosses coming in and tracking back when he had to. That Lerma cut back in the 96th minute looked a certain goal but he was able to get there. 9.

Battled very well in the centre of the midfield. Spraying passes isn't his thing but he gets stuck into the tackles, which very much is. 7. Photo: Midlands

Showed an impressive range of passing in the first half. Very nearly sent Dembele in one-on-one on one occasion. Drifted a bit out of the game in the second half and probabaly the right call to bring on Coventry. 6.5.

8. SIRIKI DEMBELE
Had multiple Bournemouth players unable to get anywhere near him but didn't manage to get that killer ball into a fellow attacker though. Needed to be used more though in the first half. Taken off after an hour. 7.
