That’s another big save from Stuart Moore, who stands tall to thwart Charles Ondo from close range.

Huddersfield win themselves a corner after a sustained spell of pressure. Blackpool having to do plenty of defending at the minute but they’re holding firm.

The referee looks set to award Huddersfield a penalty but he seemingly changes his mind and allows play to continue. It comes after an away player was shoulder barged to the floor in the box.

Brad Holmes eyes a second but his snap shot is straight at the keeper.

65 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!! (2-0)

Luke Mariette doubles Pool's lead, scrambling home after a surging run into the box from Brad Holmes.

The ball falls kindly for Brad Holmes inside the box but he hurries his shot and drags wide. Big chance to make it 3-0.
