Blackpool v Preston North End - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 2-0 PNE
- Seasiders and Lilywhites renew acquaintance after eight long years
- Pool looking for first home win in the derby in 24 years
74 - More boos
This time for Brad Potts, who takes to the pitch to replace Ben Whiteman. I don’t think the PNE fans are too happy with that change either.
73 - Well on top
Blackpool are well on top now and are going for the kill. A third goal would certainly put the game to bed for good.
68 - GOAL BLACKPOOLLLLL!!!!! (2-0)
Gary Madine doubles Blackpool’s lead from Jerry Yates’ lovely through-ball.
Bedlam!!
Keshi Anderson fires over from Jerry Yates’ lay-off. Only a half-chance really, as it was from a tight angle.
Blackpool-born Tom Barkhuizen has just been brought on for the visitors, by the way, as has Sean Maguire.
63 - Nervous?
The Seasiders are managing the game well at the moment, but there’s still a long way to go.
59 - Lull
Not a great deal is happening on the pitch at the moment, which suits Blackpool just fine.
The North Stand’s singing is absolutely relentless. They’ve been chanting non-stop for the last 10 minutes or so.
54 - Almost
Kenny Dougall almost picks out Josh Bowler, who is in acres of space. But the midfielder overhits his pass.
53 - Stoppage
Jordan Gabriel is down receiving treatment following a collision with Alan Browne. Both seem okay to continue.
49 - Let off
PNE counter and put it on a plate for Ben Whiteman at the back post, but he misses the target. Big miss.
