56 - Saved
Pool’s corner is cleared but they work the ball back into the box towards captain Michael Fitzgerald, whose header is straight at the keeper.
56 - Delicious
That’s a great cross from right-back Jack Moore that was begging for a Blackpool teammate to meet it. Instead it’s headed behind for a corner.
52 - Blocked!
Blackpool’s wall does its job. The wall charges down the Newcastle player and make an important block.
Pool survive.
51 - Harsh
Blackpool are harshly punished for a passback, giving Newcastle an indirect free kick 10 yards out.
We’re back underway
The young Seasiders, who are 45 minutes away from a trip to Chelsea, get the game restarted.
HALF TIME
John Murphy’s side are in complete control here and it could easily have been more. Both goals were superbly taken by Matshazi.
43 - Almost three
Luke Mariette almost starts and finishes a move on his own. The midfielder slides in beautifully to win the ball back before surging forward, dragging the ball back across the face of goal...but no one is there to capitalise.
Great play once again from the young Seasiders.
