Blackpool v Barnsley RECAP: Updates from Bloomfield Road as Seasiders bid to make it back-to-back wins

Shayne Lavery’s sixth goal of the campaign gives the Seasiders a deserved lead at the interval. Probably ought to be two goals ahead really.

There will be just one minute of time added on at the end of the first-half.

Barnsley almost make Blackpool pay for that miss immediately.

Victor Adeboyejo nips the ball past Richard Keogh before rifling towards the far corner, but Chris Maxwell somehow flings himself across goal to make the save.

Big, big moment that.

Blackpool break through Barnsley’s ranks with ease to set Tyreece John-Jules free. He surges through one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but he never looks truly settled and his low effort is saved by Brad Collins.

Big chance to double Pool’s lead goes to waste. Let’s hope they don’t regret that.

Jasper Moon is urged to shoot by the Barnsley fans, which he does from 25 yards. His curling effort is weak though and Chris Maxwell doesn’t have to move to make the save.

Is the chant from those Pool fans packed into the North Stand this afternoon.

Not to be a party pooper, but there was a pyrotechnic thrown onto the pitch shortly after Lavery’s goal, which the club won’t be too pleased about. It’s understood Pool have already been warned about this in recent times by the authorities.

It’s that boy Shayne Lavery!

The striker latches onto a ball down the left channel, opens his body to create a better angle and duly picks out the far corner, with Brad Collins well beaten.

It’s a deserved lead for the Seasiders, who have been the side looking more likely to threaten. That’s six goals for the season now for Lavery.

Keshi Anderson is penalised for a pull back and Barnsley have a free-kick in a dangerous position. Josh Benson stands over it, but it’s straight into the wall.

Josh Bowler then clears.

Shayne Lavery’s tireless running sees Pool win the ball back in the Barnsley back, which helps launch a Blackpool break.

Keshi Anderson plays the ball through to the overlapping Luke Garbutt, whose cross is blocked. But the ball rebounds to him in front of goal, but Brad Collins does well to smother his goalbound effort.

Shayne Lavery’s closing down is so impressive, he’s absolutely tireless. Twice in as many minutes the striker has made a block he had no right to make.
