    Well, well. We'll leave things there after a dramatic conclusion to that match at The Weston Homes Stadium.

    Semi Ajayi the match-winner for West Brom and the debate will no doubt run and run about towel and hoodie-gate from the visitors.

    There will be more reaction to come on that on our Championship page but for now, we'll bid you farewell for this evening.

    Go well!

    FT: Peterborough 0-1 West Brom

    So that win means West Brom go level on 13 points with early pace-setters Fulham.

    The Baggies have the slightly inferior goal difference and that means they stay second.

    FT: Peterborough 0-1 West Brom

    Darren Ferguson clearly upset with something at the final whistle as he goes over to speak with referee James Linington.

    TV cameras cut to the young girl in the front row of the West Brom fans who kept passing Darnell Furlong that grey hoodie.

    Was she the lucky omen?

    Job done right at the last of last-ditch opportunities for West Brom!

    A scrappy win for the Baggies but they won't care one bit.

    Peterborough deflated after that having fought hard throughout to try and nullify the visitors.

    GOAL: Peterborough 0-1 West Brompublished at 90+4 mins

    Semi Ajayi

    THREE POINTS FOR WEST BROM!

    Semi Ajayi is the man who is pushed forward in the closing moments by Valerien Ismael and it pays off.

    Matty Phillips with the surging run into the area down the right, his ball across and Ajayi meets it at the back post from just a yard out for the simple finish.

    Chance for another long throw-in for Darnell Furlong and his hoodie as we move towards the conclusion.

  7. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Five minutes being added on as Jordan Hugill skews an attempted left-foot effort from just inside the box high and wide for West Brom.

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Game just fizzling out again towards the closing minutes. Seems both sides want to hold on to what they have.

    Hard to say who'd be the more disappointed not to win this one.

    Karlan Grant goes downImage source, Rex Features

    Huge, huge appeals for a penalty for West Brom from Karlan Grant after he and Jordan Hugill combine through the middle.

    Replays don't show a huge amount of contact to be fair and Grant probably should've done better to wrap his foot around that one.

    Jordan Hugill again has a go with a header after Matty Phillips picks him out at the back post with a cross from the right.

    Way off target this time from the Norwich loanee.

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Boos around the ground now as Darnell Furlong covers some ground picking up that grey hoodie from the Baggies fans and then returning it after drying the ball.

    Referee James Linington comes over for a word or two from Furlong before he unfurls another long-ranger.

    Posh head it behind for a corner.

    Must have been around a minute to take that throw-in.

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Jorge Grant makes way for Josh Knight in Peterborough's midfield in their final change of the night.

  13. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Peterborough growing in terms of a threat coming forward.

    Sammie Szmodics tries to slide a low ball across the penalty area but there's nobody in the middle in a blue shirt to run on to it.

    We move into the last 10 minutes.

  14. Postpublished at 78 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Ambitious shouts from the home fans for a penalty as Dara O'Shea bundles Frankie Kent to the ground at the back post after an inswinging corner.

    Clutching at straws a touch there.

  15. Postpublished at 77 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    If you need a reminder from earlier in the season, Peterborough left things very, very late to come from behind and beat Derby.

    Two goals in fact in second-half stoppage time did the trick that afternoon, so don't rule out further drama.

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Conor Townsend fouls Jonson Clarke-Harris as the Peterborough striker tries to turn away to goal from 30 yards out.

    But Posh fail to make the most of the attacking position from the free-kick as Sam Johnstone claims the high ball.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 72 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Peterborough captain Nathan Thompson also gets a booking after stopping a Baggies breakaway in the middle of the park.

    Game just going up a notch in intensity finally.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 70 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Hoodie in hand yet again for Darnell Furlong, but again no joy for West Brom as it's launched into the area.

    Alex Mowatt gets a booking for tangling with Sammie Szmodics before Posh break down the right and Joe Ward's dangerous cross has to be turned behind by Dara O'Shea for a corner.

  19. Postpublished at 68 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    The hoodie doesn't immediately work its magic as Darnell Furlong's latest long throw fails to produce a clearcut chance.

    It remains goalless as we move towards the last 20 minutes.

  20. Postpublished at 67 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 West Brom

    Now then - Darnell Furlong has found a hoodie from someone in the away supporters' contingent to help him dry off the ball before a long throw-in.

    The plot thickens...
