Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 1-0 Swansea
  • Seasiders looking for third straight win

ON: CJ Hamilton and Shayne Lavery

OFF: Charlie Kirk and Gary Madine

Matt Grimes shoots just wide from distance. Dan Grimshaw was scrambling.

Dan Grimshaw is off his line in a flash to claim Joel Piroe’s dangerous through-ball.

Pool are still under plenty of pressure here.

Neil Critchley is urging his troops to get up the pitch. They're being pinned back a tad at the moment.

Marvin Ekpiteta heads over from Charlie Kirk’s left-wing cross, which was just behind the defender in his defence.

The noise levels have ramped up another notch as the Blackpool faithful realise their team is in need of a lift.

The players respond and win a couple of corners in quick succession.

Josh Bowler plays a short corner to Kevin Stewart, who chips somewhat ambitiously over the Swansea bar.

Not entirely sure if that was meant as a shot, mind.

Gary Madine is completely wrestled to the floor by Kyle Naughton, but the referee waves away the appeals for a free-kick. Odd.

For the first time this afternoon Swansea are enjoying a spell of pressure. They’re still yet to do anything with it, but they have Blackpool on the back foot at least.

Josh Bowler again drags his near post effort just wide.

Swansea so open to the counter.
