The Seasiders matched the high flyers in the third tier, and had the better chances to win the game.
Kyle Joseph experienced a painful miss the second half, with his shot from a tight angle hitting the inside of the post, but bouncing away from the target.
Meanwhile, the Blues’ best opportunity came inside the opening 45 minutes, as Harry Tyrer denied Emil Hansson with a fingertip save.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:
