Blackpool v Stoke City RECAP: Updates from Bloomfield Road as Seasiders bid for fourth straight win

Keshi Anderson is given a talking to for a foul right in front of the dugouts, which had the Stoke coaches up on their feet.

Don’t think a yellow card was shown. Didn’t look like there was much in it anyway.

The lively Jacob Brown gets in behind Pool’s backline, but his low shot is straight at Dan Grimshaw.

Seasiders living dangerously here.

The ball drops to Jordan Thompson 25 yards out, but the midfielder’s rising shot is a yard or two over the Pool bar.

Stoke still well on top here.

Stoke are slowly but surely taking control here.

Steven Fletcher has just flicked a header into the path of Jacob Brown, but Marvin Ekpiteta - as he often does so well- gets back and mops up.

A rare sight of goal for the visitors as Jacob Brown plays a teasing ball across the face of the Blackpool goal. Thankfully no Stoke player is there to take advantage, because it was begging for the faintest of touches.

A Stoke free-kick is cleared behind by Luke Garbutt for a corner.

Demetri Mitchell drops a shoulder to open up some space in the centre of the pitch. He delays before letting fly, his long-range effort taking a wicked deflection.

For one moment, it looks as though Mitchell’s effort will loop up and over Joe Bursik, but the Stoke keeper is able to collect fairly comfortably.

Ryan Wintle gets the second-half started.

Pool are unchanged, but Stoke have made one swap. Leo Ostigard is on for Ben Wilmot, who was one of the five to pick up bookings.

Really good controlled and measured stuff from the Seasiders, who have been especially dangerous on the break. Remaining patient too, which will be key.

Sonny Carey and Jerry Yates squandered two really good chances.
