Blackpool found themselves 2-0 down after 21 minutes last night but enjoyed a brilliant comeback in the second half that saw Owen Dale and Jerry Yates (2) make it 3-2 at the full-time whistle.

The win means the Seasiders have lost only one of their last five and now sit in 12th place – within touching distance of the top six.

Neil Critchley’s side will now face local rivals Preston North End at the weekend in their bid to move into a play-off spot – with Preston currently struggling towards the end of the table with only one win in their last seven Championship matches.
