Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 0-1 Swansea
  • Seasiders aiming to pick up second win of the season
  • Michael Appleton’s side hoping to bounce back from midweek disappointment

Lewis Fiorini unleashes Josh Bowler down the right but the winger's shot is straight at Andy FIsher.

This is so much better from the Seasiders.

52 - Pool going for it

Blackpool going for it now and pressing from the front. Crowd responds as a result.

50 - MISSED PENALTY!

Kenny Dougall is tripped inside the Swansea box, gifting the Seasiders a penalty.

Jerry Yates steps up from 12 yards, but his penalty is saved!

Oh my, what a save that is from Dan Grimshaw.

A deflected effort from range wrongfoots the Pool keeper, but he somehow gets across to claw the ball away from the line.

What a player.

46 - Leaving your mark

A booking for Shayne Lavery inside the opening 60 seconds of the second-half for a late challenge.

Talk about making your mark...

Shayne Lavery is on at half-time for Theo Corbeanu. Jerry Yates remains in the no.9 role, meaning Lavery will play out on the left.

Sonny Carey gets the second-half underway.

HT: Blackpool 0-0 Swansea

A few boos greet the half-time whistle after a half of Swansea pressure.

Pool have got to be careful, because they've been guilty of sitting off far too much. Wasteful in possession too.

45+1 - What a tackle!

Jay Fulton is about to open the scoring for Swansea but Marvin Ekpiteta gets back to make a miraculous block.

45 - Almost an own goal

Lewis Fiorini almost directs a header past his own keeper from a Swansea corner.

Two minutes added on.

Now Joel Piroe shoots straight at Dan Grimshaw.

Pool need to get out here.
