Blackpool v Hull City: Live match updates from New Year's Day encounter

The referee awards Blackpool a penalty as Jacob Greaves brings down Josh Bowler in the box following one of his trademark mazy runs. I’ve got to say, it looked like Greaves won the ball. But it’s about time Pool had some luck!

Gary Madine takes it and slams it down the middle. Get in!

Shayne Lavery sets Keshi Anderson free on the break, but his ball into the box is cleared away for a corner.

Bit of a missed opportunity there for the Seasiders.

The ball almost drops to a Hull player just 10 yards or so out, but Marvin Ekpiteta stretches out a long leg to make a vital clearance.

Hull on top at the moment.

Richie Smallwood heads just wide from George Honeyman’s corner. Close.

A patient spell of possession from the away side results in their first corner of the game.

It’s a bit flat at the minute, with very little happening. The Seasiders are remaining patient though and looking to work their way through the thirds.

Hull’s left-back Callum Elder was replaced by Tyler Smith, a forward, which sees the Tigers switch to a back three - a system Blackpool have often struggled against this season.

It looks like Hull might be forced into an early change, with Callum Elder down receiving treatment. Substitute Tyler Smith is currently warming up and getting ready to replace him.

Dan Grimshaw makes an excellent save to deny Hull what would have been a calamitous goal from Blackpool’s point of view.

It all started with Grimshaw’s poor kick out from the back, but thankfully the keeper atoned seconds later.

Keshi Anderson looks to slip in Shayne Lavery, but Nathan Baxter is off his line quickly to claim. Lavery wasn’t far away from reaching it at all.
