Here's how Pool's players rated:

1. Chris Maxwell - 7/10

Made a couple of smart stops at important times to keep his clean sheet. Otherwise had little to do.

Ran the length of the field to tap home Blackpool’s third and his first goal for the club. Solid and steady.

Made a vital early recovery challenge to deny Harrogate while the scoreline remained goalless.

Dominant aerially and first to everything that came his way. Seemed to thrive on the battle with Harrogate’s tall striker.

Neat and tidy on his return from injury against his hometown club. Claiming the opener, which looked to be an own goal.

Looked a little off the pace early on but improved during the second-half. Perhaps could have done with a rest.
