Just one minute into the contest, Dajaune Brown gave the visitors the lead. After a scramble in the box, the forward was able to finish into an open goal, with the Seasiders failing to deal with the danger on several occasions, with Jon Brady’s side battling harder for the ball.
Jordan Shipley attempted to double the lead a couple of times with shots from distance. One of the midfielder’s attempts was pulled wide of the target, while the other was pushed away by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
The highlight of the Seasiders’ attacking exploits in the first half hour were two off target shots from Josh Bowler on the right side.
Jordan Brown came the closest to finding an equaliser before the break, with an effort from distance striking the post.
At the start of the second half, Blackpool followed Port Vale’s example in the first, as they swiftly found their equaliser.
A Bowler cross into the box was met by Niall Ennis - who tucked the ball past Joe Gauci just one minute after the restart.
The visitors retook the lead ahead of the hour mark. Shipley got in down the right side, before finding Rhys Walters in the box.
Moments after being introduced off the bench in the 71st minute, Tom Bloxham was able to have an immediate impact. A ball from the forward, allowed Ashley Fletcher to direct the ball towards the target to level things again.
The Seasiders swiftly found themselves in front for the first time, with another substitute having an important impact.
A corner into the box eventually fell at a nice height for James Husband - whose volley found its way past Gauci with a deflection off Reuell Walters.
