Blackpool v Preston North End RECAP: Updates from the derby at Bloomfield Road

Keshi Anderson gives the Seasiders the lead!

Josh Bowler waltzes past two or three Preston challenges down the right to get to the byline, but his cross is headed away by a PNE defender.

The Pool fans liked that though.

Marvin Ekpiteta makes a vital interception to deny Daniel Johnson, who has gone down injured and is in need of treatment.

Jerry Yates fires across the face of the six-yard box after his initial effort is blocked.

Pool doing most of the attacking at the moment.

The derby has yet to really get going. It’s threatened to on a couple of occasions, but it’s yet to really gain momentum. It’s all a bit stodgy so far.

James Husband storms into the Preston box and goes to ground as he tangles with two defenders. Blackpool’s half-hearted appeals for a penalty are swiftly ignored by the referee.

The corner falls for Alan Browne at the back post, but his cross rockets straight into the head of James Husband.

Emil Riis wins Preston their first corner of the game. Potential danger here.

Kenny Dougall shoots agonisingly wide from the edge of the box after Josh Bowler’s attempted cross had deflected into his path.

So close!

James Husband miscues his cross, which almost inadvertently picks out the bottom corner. Keeper Dan Iversen gets across to make the save, only to spill it. PNE finally clear.
