The first clear opportunity of the game came James McClean’s way ahead of the half hour mark. After breaking into the box from the right side, the winger looked certain to score, but after anticipating the direction, Harry Tyrer made a superb save to deny the former Republic of Ireland international.
Moments later, the 23-year-old was on hand with some heroics again. This time, the Everton loanee was quickly off his line to bravely stop Jay Rodriguez.
Just after the hour mark, two quick fire goals put the Welsh outfit in the driving seat on the Fylde Coast.
The opener came through McClean, with a cross from the left side going through the crowd in the box to find the far corner. Meanwhile, shortly after, Ollie Rathbone added the second for Phil Parkinson’s side.
Rob Apter was on hand with a late goal for Blackpool, but apart from that they were unable to produce anything substantial to avoid a damaging defeat in the race for the play-offs.
