Stoke City v Blackpool: Live updates
Key Events
- FT: Stoke 2-0 Blackpool
- Seasiders bidding to make it two wins out of two
- Charlie Patino could make his Blackpool debut
51 - Awful officiating
That's dreadful officiating as Josh Bowler is clearly shoved to the floor. Happened right in front of the linesman but nothing is given.
Bizarre.
48 - Danger
Marvin Ekpiteta makes a desperate attempt to block Josh Tymon’s left-wing cross, almost inadvertently guiding the ball into his own net. Thankfully Dan Grimshaw is there to claim.
Half-time change?
Kenny Dougall stripped and ready to come on. Looks like Matty Virtue will make way.
HALF TIME
Seasiders deservedly trail at the break. They're paying Stoke far too much respect by sitting off and inviting pressure.
Game will only end one way if it continues like this.
36 - Another save
Dan Grimshaw gets down to make the save from Jacob Brown.
Nowhere enough pressure being applied to the ball.
34 - GOAL STOKE (1-0)
Far too easy for the home side as Harry Clarke heads in unopposed at the back post from Josh Tymon’s left-wing cross.
All to do.
