Norwich City 0-1 Blackpool as it happened as Seasiders sign off the season on a positive note
and live on Freeview channel 276
With their relegation to League One confirmed following last week’s agonising defeat to Millwall, there’s nothing at stake at Carrow Road with Norwich also out of the play-off picture.
Despite the dead rubber, interim boss Stephen Dobbie insists his side will be taking the game seriously after what has been another uncertain week at Bloomfield Road, following the departure of chief executive Ben Mansford on Wednesday.

Norwich City v Blackpool - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Norwich 0-1 Blackpool
- Seasiders finish the season with long trip to Carrow Road
- Nothing at stake with relegation already confirmed
KICK OFF
After the singing of the national anthem to mark the King’s coronation, Norwich’s Liam Gibbs gets the final game of the season underway.
1 - Blocked
Norwich create a chance for their departing striker Teemu Pukki inside 20 seconds, but Jordan Thorniley is there to make an important block.
4 - Pressure
Norwich have forced a couple of corners in quick succession, but Blackpool manage to deal with them both.
9 - Wide
Onel Hernandez drags a shot wastefully wide of the Blackpool goal after cutting in from the left flank.
10 - Wide
Max Aarons pulls the ball back for Teemu Pukki, who is left in an alarming amount of space. But thankfully the striker stabs well wide, perhaps not knowing how much time and space he had.
Christos Tzolis now drills wide. All the pressure is coming from the home side.
12 - Wide
Christos Tzolis tries his luck with a curling effort from 25 yards out and he doesn’t miss by much.
16 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!! (0-1)
The Seasiders score with their first attack and it's a sumptuous goal too - Morgan Rogers scoring his first goal for the club with a delightful chip over the keeper after being slipped in by Josh Bowler.
19 - What a save!
What a save Dan Grimshaw!
CJ Hamilton completely switches off allowing Max Aarons to get in, but his effort is blocked. It rebounds to another Norwich player who is denied by Grimshaw only a few yards out.
