Blackpool v Hull City - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 1-0 Hull City
- New Year’s Day clash to go ahead despite Covid cases in both camps
- Seasiders desperate to get back to winning ways after gut-wrenching back-to-back defeats
71 - Gamble!
Dujon Sterling whips in a superb cross from the right which no-one really gambles on and attacks.
The right-back has been excellent this half.
70 - Cleared
Richard Keogh makes a vital headed clearance to deny a threatening ball into the Pool box.
Pool then immediately break through Keshi Anderson, whose ball across the face of goal towards Shayne Lavery is booted out of play by a recovering defender.
Di’shon Bernard is deservedly shown a yellow card for a late and rash challenge on Keshi Anderson, who has been superb once again despite his earlier misses.
62 - Forced change
Josh Magennis becomes Hull’s second player to limp off with an injury and is replaced by Tom Eaves, who scored Hull’s goal in the reverse fixture.
60 - Blocked
Shayne Lavery’s drive is well blocked by a Hull defender. The Seasiders are getting into Hull’s final third on a regular basis, they just need to be more clinical when they get there.
Josh Magennis, meanwhile, becomes the third Hull player to go down with a knock.
59 - Flat again
Following those couple of stoppages, the second-half has yet to really get going.
That will suit Blackpool more than Hull, who haven’t threatened at all this half.
