Chris Maxwell does superbly to get down to his left and tip Mitrovic’s header around the post. That was close from the Fulham man, whose effort skipped off the turf with some pace.

And there we have it, Shayne Lavery is introduced into the fold in place of Jerry Yates, who is given a healthy reception from the Blackpool faithful.

“Top of the league, you’re having a laugh” the Blackpool fans taunt the Fulham following.

70 - No changes for Pool yet

Fulham have just made a double change, but Pool are yet to mix things up. You have to wonder when Shayne Lavery will enter the fray.

Keshi Andersn curls in a teasing cross from the left which Jerry Yates almost reaches ahead of Gazzaniga. Close.

62 - Great interception

Josh Bowler does superbly to make a last-ditch interception just as Domingos Quina looked set to level for the away side.

Garbutt leaves the free-kick to Kevin Stewart, somewhat bizarrely. Stewart’s effort is miles away.

Domingos Quina is booked for a foul on Josh Bowler right on the edge of the Fulham box. Great shooting opportunity for Luke Garbutt, you’d think.

Josh Onomah whistles a 25-yard shot just wide of Chris Maxwell’s upright. Fulham have been below-par, yes, but they’re still a dangerous outfit that offer a real threat.

Fulham continue to push their luck, taking time on the ball in and around their own box. They’ve clearly not learned their lesson and Pool close them down at every opportunity.
