Blackpool v Blackburn Rovers - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 2-1 Blackburn Rovers
- Seasiders looking to get back to winning ways after midweek disappointment at Hull
- Rovers flying high in 6th place after first 10 games
- Bumper crowd expected for final game before the international break
83 - Let off
James Husband completely misses Reda Khadra’s right-wing cross, but thankfully Marvin Ekpiteta is there to clear.
Seven minutes to go, plus stoppage time - which will be sizeable.
81 - Wide
Keshi Anderson picks out the unmarked Josh Bowler in the box, who swivels and turns before firing wide of the far post. Chance.
73 - What a block
Dujon Sterling makes a heroic last-ditch block to deny Tyrhys Dolan, who would have otherwise been through on goal.
It might have come at a cost though, with Sterling now down on the ground. This is getting ridiculous.
70 - Corner
Blackburn win a corner after breaking on Blackpool with speed. Ben Brereton-Diaz almost got in, but the Seasiders were able to scramble behind.
Daniel Ayala heads wide from the resulting delivery.
61 - Change confirmed
Chris Maxwell can’t continue and Stuart Moore comes on in his place.
What bad luck for the Seasiders.
60 - Worry
Maxwell is down again, Looks like there is genuine concern. Not what Pool need when Lavery and Keogh have already gone off through injury
55 - Another stoppage
Chris Maxwell throws the ball out of play complaining of an injury, just as Blackburn were building up some momentum.
Smart.
54 - Saved
Chris Maxwell scrambles to claim Brereton-Diaz's shot at the second attempt. Pool's backline looking shaky in Keogh's absence.
50 - GOAL BLACKBURN (2-1)
Blackburn talisman Ben Brereton-Diaz pulls one back for the away side, slotting home at the back post from Will Buckley’s right-wing cross.
Play is then temporarily stopped as a pyrotechnic is thrown onto the pitch from the away end.
