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
32 - Waste again
Josh Bowler is guilty of another poor final ball. This time it looked even easier to slip in Jerry Yates, but his through-ball was overhit once again.
Pool are doing superbly to win the ball high up the pitch, but they’re not capitalising.
27 - In control
Pool have been dominant so far against the league leaders, but they don’t have a goal to show for their good play so far. Hopefully that all changes soon.
23 - Saved
Pool are causing all sorts of problems down their left-hand side. Luke Garbutt and Keshi Anderson combine again, the latter getting past his man before side-footing the ball across the face of goal.
Fulham keeper Paulo Gazzaniga does well to get down and make the save though.
20 - Cleared
Luke Garbutt’s left-wing cross is well cleared by Tosin Adarabioyo. Move started when Keshi Anderson forced another mistake with his pressing high up the pitch. Superb work from the midfielder.
Blackpool looking dangerous again.
19 - Saved
Ivan Cavaleiro cuts inside from the left flank and let’s fly with a curling effort, but it’s too central and Chris Maxwell claims easily.
13 - No booking
Luke Garbutt is penalised for a hefty challenge on Bobby Decordova-Reid, but there’s no booking despite Fulham’s demonstrations.
The away fans chant “Fulham reject” to Garbutt, who spent time on loan at Craven Cottage earlier in his career.
9 - Knock
Fulham keeper Paulo Gazzaniga has gone down with an early injury, which stops play. He looks to be in some pain, but he hobbles on and play restarts.
8 - Excellent from the hosts
Pool force another mistake high up the pitch, almost allowing Tyreece John-Jules to nip the ball past goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga. But Fulham’s shot stopper gets off his line quickly to clear.
6 - Wide!
Keshi Anderson twists and turns past his man before firing a low shot across the face of goal. Tyreece John-Jules slides in at the back post and almost meets it.
Moments later, Anderson fires just wide from range. The keeper was at full stretch.
Really good intent from the Seasiders.
