Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 2-4 Everton
  • Seasiders return to Bloomfield Road for their penultimate friendly
  • Rhys Williams could make his debut

Richard Keogh seems to have a problem and leaves the pitch to be replaced by Jack Moore.

Connolly moves into the centre.

Kenny Dougall replaces Matty Virtue.

63 - Goal Everton (2-4)

Not sure who got the final touch at the near post, either Dele Alli or a Callum Connolly own goal.

Josh Bowler fires wide on his weaker right foot. Pool enjoying a strong spell here though.

Jordan Thorniley is Blackpool's first change of the game, replacing debutant Rhys Williams.

Josh Bowler unleashes a stunning effort that looks to be flying into the top corner, but Jordan Pickford somehow tips it wide.

Superb shot, superb save.

That's a bit naughty from Dele Alli, who leaves a bit on Callum Connolly and is booked.

A bit of afters from a previous challenge a moment or two ago.

50 - Goal Blackpool! (2-3)

Callum Connolly heads past Jordan Pickford from Luke Garbutt's corner.

A goal against his former club.

46 - Goal Everton (1-3)

Far too easy again for Everton, as Dele Alli taps in from a few yards out.

Dan Grimshaw had done well to save Rondon’s initial shot, but the keeper had no chance when the ball was played back into the six-yard box for Alli, who was left completely unmarked.
