The forward had to be carried off the pitch after falling awkwardly on his foot while defending in Blackpool's box.

Blackpool struggled after the on-loan Rangers man came off, relying on Jay Spearing's extra-time penalty to set up a third round tie with Arsenal.

Speaking post-match, McPhillips said: “He’s just landed on his ankle and twisted his ankle, we won’t know until tomorrow how bad that is.

“That’s disappointing because I thought he was a real threat and, to be fair, after he went off things started to go pear-shaped for us.”
