Blackburn Rovers v Blackpool - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Blackburn 1-1 Blackpool
- Seasiders aiming to get back to winning ways after back-to-back defeats
- Jordan Gabriel could feature, but Dan Grimshaw, Dujon Sterling and Kevin Stewart all out
48 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!!! (1-1)
Marvin Ekpiteta forces the ball over the line after a frankly horrid goalmouth scramble, but who cares?!
Right in front of the away end too. Great scenes.
HALF TIME
A lot better from the Seasiders, purpose and intent is certainly there, but still they trail. They’ve had the openings but clinical touch, namely the final ball, has been found wanting.
45 - Added time
Pool have one minute to get back on level terms before the interval and they do have a corner.
44 - Yellow
Kenny Dougall goes into the book for a late foul on Lewis Travers.
I don’t want to be THAT guy, but referee Matthew Donohue has given Blackpool very little today. All the 50/50 decisions have gone the other way.
43 - Over
Ben Brereton Diaz glances a header comfortably over from another dangerous Blackburn corner.
39 - Promising
Jordan Gabriel has looked very comfortable on his return given he’s been out for six weeks.
He begins a run towards goal and lays the ball off to CJ Hamilton, whose cross is blocked once again.
35 - Blocked
Shayne Lavery’s constant harrying pays off as he wins the ball back for Blackpool, as they’ve done on a few occasions this half. It ends with the striker having a shot charged down.
