LIVE: Salford vs Posh

Smith and Ingram off

Lund and N'Mai on

A great response from Posh

Brilliant finish in the edge of the box from Collins after taking a touch and picking his spot in the bottom right corner.

It's in the net this time, Smith heads across goal and it's tapped in but the flag is up. Posh look vulnerable from balls into the box.

As ever with this game, Salford fly forward again. Dangerous ball bounces on the edge of the box, McLennan fires at goal on the half volley. Smacks Knight in the head, more by luck than judgement I think but that looked like to was flying into the net.

Both teams look more than capable to scoring again.

Posh are on the top again though, Poku skins Garbutt again but blasts a cross/shot, not sure which one over everyone and out.

Burrows takes to the near post, Knight heads it but it goes well over.

Corner Posh, Randall leads a break forward and sees a cross blocked.

Salford get us going again and they're in a bit of a better spell. Posh hesitate but eventually clear a short corner. There's lots of balls coming into the box.

Ingram down on the far side, leads to an impromptu drinks break.

Shocking offside call denies Jones a one-on-one.

Randall had picked him out and he'd have held his run perfectly.

Posh looking to break quickly when they have it, Poku is causing problems on the right and Garbutt looks to be struggling with the pace of him and Jones.

Mallan first over from the following corner 25 yards out.

Both sides looking threatening.

McLellan sends in a dangerous cross across the box, falls to Watson and he's denied a shot by a brilliant sliding tackle from Fernandez.

Should be 2-2.

Free kick right to McLennan, unmarked again. Heads straight at Talley though.

What a hit that was, EMC cuts in from the left and smashes a shot right into the top corner, such a crisp strike, off the top of the bar and in.
