Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 1-0 Fulham
- Seasiders take on league leaders on their return from the international break
- Four new recruits in line to make their debuts
- Neil Critchley’s men still searching for first league win
53 - Saved
Jerry Yates spots the keeper off his line just inside the Fulham half and tries an audacious long-range effort, but Gazzaniga retreats to make the save.
That would have been special!
49 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!!!
Josh Bowler does superbly to waltz past two or three Fulham challenges before slipping the ball past Paulo Gazzaniga at his near post. A great solo effort from the winger!!
Absolute bedlam here at Bloomfield Road! The place is rocking.
46 - Denied
Kevin Stewart picks out Josh Bowler over on the right flank with a raking ball. Bowler shifts the ball past his marker but his cross is straight at keeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
45+2 - Wide
Tim Ream curls in a cross from the left flank which beats everyone, including Chris Maxwell, and almost nestles in the far corner. Thankfully it drops wide instead.
That would have been cruel on the Seasiders.
45 - Injury time
There will be three minutes added on at the end of an entertaining first-half, which Pool have dominated.
Can they finally make the breakthrough?
40 - Blocked
Jordan Gabriel is blatantly blocked off by a Fulham player, but the referee bizarrely allows play to continue. Thankfully Luke Garbutt recovered to make a vital interception before the away side could get a shot off at goal.
Jean Michael Seri then fizzes a long-range shot inches wide.
38 - Poor
Pool attempt a set-piece routine which nearly goes horribly wrong. Luke Garbutt plays it short to Josh Bowler, who dummies it...straight to a Fulham player. Neil Critchley turns away in digust.
The visitors break at speed, before Aleksander Mitrovic has a shot blocked.
