HALF TIME

Coventry have the lead at the interval thanks to Viktor Gyokeres’ goal in first-half stoppage-time, which was scored in highly controversial circumstances. Looked to be a blatant handball.

The visitors deserve it on the balance of play, but Shayne Lavery had earlier squandered two huge chances for the Seasiders.

45+1 - GOAL COVENTRY (0-1)

The away side take the lead in first-half stoppage time.

It looked to be a handball from the Coventry man as he forced the ball home from close range, after Chris Maxwell had failed to deal with Fankaty Dabo’s ball in from the right. But the goal stands.
