It was ultimately a brace from the more experienced Jake Beesley that proved to be the difference, as Blackpool made it three wins out of three in the competition.

Ahead of the game, former England international Lescott took to Instagram to share the teamsheet.

He later recorded the moment his son came on, with the caption ‘proud dad.’
