Key Events

  • FT: Huddersfield 0-1 Blackpool
  • Seasiders looking to get back to winning ways after midweek disappointment
  • Ian Poveda makes first start, new signing Callum Wright starts on the bench
  • Gary Madine misses out through suspension

Michael Appleton throws his bottle of water in the air as Marvin Ekpiteta miscues a clearance straight to Jack Rudoni.

Rudoni lets fly but Dan Grimshaw is equal to his long-range effort, pushing it wide.

38 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!! (0-1)

Blackpool hit Huddersfield on the break, but it looks like the chance goes begging as Ian Poveda hits the foot of the post.

But the ball rebounds to Corbeanu who slots home into the back of the empty net.

Blackpool lead!

Dan Grimshaw gets down to his right to beat Jack Rudoni's shot away from goal.

Despite there being a few stoppages, only two minutes will be added on at the end of the first-half.

A sleepy Sunday affair in the main, but the Seasiders lead at the interval thanks to Theo Corbeanu’s third goal of the season.

Ian Poveda looking really bright on his first start.

We’re back underway

Kenny Dougall gets the second-half underway.

Both sides are unchanged

Danny Ward flicks a header towards the Blackpool goal but it’s easy enough for Dan Grimshaw to claim.

That’s the only real danger Huddersfield have posed so far today, from wide crosses.

Almost half a chance for the Seasiders as they work it around the Huddersfield box, but Dom Thompson overhits his pass to Jerry Yates.

Loving Ian Poveda's trickery on the ball. You can tell he's really enjoying himself on his first Blackpool start.

Hearing Forest are considering lodging a £1.50 bid for January.

Callum Connolly is shown a yellow card for stopping a Huddersfield break.

Huddersfield think they've forced the ball over the line from a corner but the referee waves play on.

Looked in if I'm being honest.

There is goalline technology of course. But the referee's watch obviously hasn't gone off.

Replays showed it clearly went in.

65 - Needless booking

Jerry Yates is shown a yellow card for throwing the ball away to wind the clock down.

Bit of a silly one that with 25 minutes plus still to go.

James Husband is Blackpool's first change, replacing Rhys Williams who has looked a little shaky since the break.

Big chance for Blackpool to double their lead as Jerry Yates lays the ball off to Ian Poveda, but his shot deflects wide.

ON: CJ Hamilton and Shayne Lavery

OFF: Ian Poveda and Theo Corbeanu

Blackpool have FIVE minutes to see out.

Theo Corbeanu’s third goal of the campaign gives the Seasiders their third victory, as they move up into the top half.

A spot of controversy in the second-half, but Michael Appleton’s side worked tirelessly for this win.
