Let the celebrations begin

BLACKPOOL HAVE DONE IT!!!

Not sure what to say, all the superlatives in the world won’t do it justice. What a win. What a team.

With three wins on the spin, Blackpool are now SIXTH. Incredible.

90+4 - Going to plan

Demetri Mitchell wins Blackpool a free-kick, giving them a chance to wind the clock down some more.

injured Ben Davies can’t continue. Sheff U have already made all three subs, so they’re down to 10.

Meanwhile, Pool have FIVE minutes to hold on

The home fans have seen enough, they’re heading for the exits. There’s bound to be a bit of time added on at the end of the 90 though, so we’re not done yet.

Luke Garbutt is Blackpool’s third and final change, replacing goalscorer Keshi Anderson.

84 - Headache for the Blades

Ben Davies looks to be carrying on for the home side despite picking up a knock. The Blades have already made all three changes.

82 - Not sure what to say

This is absolutely mental.

The Seasiders have been poor today, average at best. But they’re 10 minutes or so away from clinchinganother memorable win.

Hold on Pool!!

Absolute limbs among the 2,000 Pool fans in the away end as Keshi Anderson beats the offside trap, pulls back onto his left foot and picks out the top corner with aplomb.

Two in two for Keshi!

76 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!!!!! (0-1)

KESHI!!!

Sonny Carey’s rasping volley is tipped over by Robin Olsen. Pool corner in front of the away fans.

That’s sensational from Richard Keogh, as he somehow flies across the box to deny substitute David McGoldrick.

Keshi Anderson’s fierce drive, which looks to take a slight deflection, is turned behind by keeper Robin Olsen.

Pool believe they can win this.

ON: Sonny Carey and Demetri Mitchell

OFF: Josh Bowler and Jerry Yates

60 - Getting back into it?

I say this tentatively, but Blackpool are beginning to come back into this just a little. They still need to offer far more, mind.

Meanwhile, Demetri Mitchell is getting stripped for the Seasiders.

In other news, Curtis Tilt has just done this...

53 - Under pressure

Not seen Neil Critchley quite as animated as this on the touchline for some time. Pool’s head coach flails his arms in the air after Blackpool failed to take advantage of a rare counter.

Almost hero to zero stuff from Dan Grimshaw, whose clearance is charged dwn by Iliman Ndiaye. Thankfully it goes behind for a goal kick.
