Wow, that's another magnificent save from Dan Grimshaw, tipping Jack Vale's shot around the post.

It all came after Josh Bowler was dispossessed on the edge of the Blackburn box.

73 - Penalty appeal

Jack Vale goes down in the Blackpool box and the visiting fans are screaming for a penalty.

Referee books him and awards Blackpool a free-kick instead.

Ian Poveda makes his debut off the bench against his former loan club.

Jerry Yates looked to be the man heading off, but Gary Madine comes off instead.

Jerry Yates' snapshot is claimed by Thomas Kaminski.

Finally a chance for the Seasiders. Can they turn the screw in the final stages?

Rhys Williams somehow heads wide from Kenny Dougall's corner. Big, big opportunity to equalise.

FIVE minutes added on.

Kenny Dougall heads wide from Ian Poveda’s cross. That was the chance.

Seasiders can have few complaints. Margin of defeat would have been a lot heavier if it wasn’t for Dan Grimshaw.
