Sheffield United v Blackpool - live updates

Key Events

  • FT: Sheffield United 0-1 Blackpool
  • Seasiders bidding to make it three wins on the spin
  • Pool sweating over the fitness of central midfielders Kenny Dougall and Kevin Stewart

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.

49 - How are Pool still level?!

Dan Grimshaw makes an exceptional save low down to his right to deny Morgan Gibbs-White, before Lyss Mousset rattles the bar.

Only a matter of time until Sheffield United take the lead, you’d think.

Almost a goal for Sheffield United inside the first 10 seconds of the half, as Morgan Gibbs-White’s first-time effort from the edge of the box is well saved by Dan Grimshaw.
