Knight heads away a good Cantwell cross. Burrows hoofs it at a Bournemouth shoot, deflects for a goalkick. surely it.

Cantwell clips a ball into the box. Solanke slides to turn it goalwards. Lowe is there too and it actually goes off low out of play. No more than a minute to go.

Deflected Christie shot has hearts racing but Cornell confidently catches it.

Good run all the way to the byline from Jones but well defended in the end from Phillips.

Ward then delivers a good corner but Fuchs fouls the keeper.

Out of nothing. Ward skins Zemura. Drives into the box. shoots low cross the keeper, good block on the slide from Kelly. Corner

87 mins 1-1 Bournemouth subs

Jamal Lowe on for Billing and Dembele goes off for Marcondes. Loud boos from the Posh fans who made the trip.

6 to go. This is like a siege now. Taylor and Jones have hardly touched the ball in the last five minutes. Christie drives the ball into Cornell’s arms from a wide angle. A regulation save.
