Blackpool v Bournemouth - live updates

Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 1-2 Bournemouth
  • Seasiders looking to maintain unbeaten start to 2022 in the league
  • Neil Critchley’s side have won their last three games at Bloomfield Road

Neil Critchley asked for a cup final atmosphere and he's getting it.

Could be a long 15 minutes or so as Bournemouth pile on the pressure.

Ollie Casey makes a heroic block to deny Jodan Zemura, who had been left unmarked at the back post.

CJ Hamilton races through only to see how low drive blocked. The ball rebounds to the winger but he fluffs his cross.

Meanwhile, today’s attendance has been confirmed as 11,141.

Shayne Lavery replaces Jerry Yates, who gets a well deserved ovation.

Dan Grimshaw parries Todd Cantwell's swerving effort behind for a corner.

Off the bar!

CJ Hamilton rattles the woodwork with a bullet from range. So, so unlucky.

Gary Madine is now wearing the captain’s armband in the absence of Marvin Ekpiteta, Richard Keogh and Chris Maxwell!

61 - Another injury

Oliver Casey is on for his league debut in place of Marvin Ekpiteta, who hobbles off injured.

Big chance for the 21-year-old.

Marvin Ekpiteta, who has only just returned from a knee injury, is down receiving treatment.

With Richard Keogh already out, this is far from ideal.

Jordan Thorniley's shot is blocked following a well-worked corner.

Kevin Stewart then goes to ground inside the box, but no penalty.
