Here's how Pool's players rated...
1. Chris Maxwell - 8/10
Made two outstanding saves to keep the score down but had no chance with either Brighton goal.
2. Marvin Ekpiteta - 7/10
A couple of nervy moments as Pool passed it out from the back but otherwise defended admirably.
3. Jordan Thorniley - 7/10
Barely put a foot wrong on a rare start. Seemed more at home in the centre of Blackpool’s back three.
4. James Husband - 7/10
Defensively sound on the left of the back three and supported Luke Garbutt well down the flank.
5. MAN OF THE MATCH: Jordan Gabriel - 8/10
Not afraid of a tackle and showed great energy up and down Blackpool’s right flank all afternoon.
6. Luke Garbutt - 7/10
Showed great quality for the cross for Madine’s goal and went close with a free kick. Set piece delivery was good throughout.
