Ethan Laird opened the scoring just before half time, with the Seasiders defence following asleep from a set piece routine.
A corner towards the back post was met by the fullback – who was able to head the ball into the back of the net with ease.
Following the restart, the dominant Blues doubled their lead, with Alfie May providing the finishing touch after a ball forward had opened up the Blackpool defence.
A switch to a wing-back system didn’t really change the fortunes of the home team, with the visitors firmly on top throughout.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:

7. Rob Apter- 5
Rob Apter's presence wasn't really noticeable in the first half. A change of system at the break did bring him into it a little bit more, with the winger putting a shot just wide of the post. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

10. CJ Hamilton- 5
After being kept quiet throughout the opening 45 minutes, a system change at the break did provide the 30-year-old with a bit more space in the wide areas, but just lacked the final product at times. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

11. Niall Ennis- 5
Without possession, there was no service for the strikers, with Niall Ennis being just as much a spectator as the rest of us for long periods. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

12. Ashley Fletcher- 5
Like Ennis, Ashley Fletcher just couldn't get into the contest for long periods against the dominant Blues. The forward was able to test Ryan Allsop in the second half, before being replaced just after the hour mark. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
