Cardiff City v Blackpool: Live match updates

Reece James goes in a bit recklessly on Cody Drameh, which earns Cardiff a free-kick. Pool’s left back does well to avoid further punishment though.

Josh Bowler has a shot blocked from the edge of the box as Blackpool continue to mount some pressure. Neil Critchley applauds on the sideline.

Dujon Sterling hesitates over a dangerous ball in from the right, almost allowing two Cardiff players to nip in with the goal at their mercy.

Thankfully it goes out for a goal kick.

Gary Madine skews wide against his former club before Charlie Kirk’s overhit cross is tipped over.

The home fans are very muted and were before Blackpool took the lead. You wouldn’t think their side have won four of their last five.

Blackpool fans are anything but quiet, on the other hand. There looks to be around 600 or 700 of them in the corner.

Josh Bowler’s free-kick is partially cleared to Charlie Kirk, who side foots it back into the danger area where Ekpiteta heads it back across the keeper and into the top corner.

Striker’s finish!

Dan Grimshaw is forced to backtrack and tip Cody Drameh's cross over his bar. Cardiff corner.

Will Vaulks is urged to shoot from range and does exactly that, but his low effort is well blocked by Marvin Ekpiteta.

Josh Bowler thinks he’s won Blackpool the first corner of the game, but the linesman thinks differently and flags for a goal kick.

Blackpool look to pick out Charlie Kirk, who is making his first start for the Seasiders today, but it’s overhit and runs through to keeper Alex Smithies.
