Here’s how Pool’s players rated:

2. Callum Connolly - 7/10
Solid and reliable as ever, if a little unspectacular. Didn’t offer quite as much as Husband going forward. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. MAN OF THE MATCH: Marvin Ekpiteta - 9/10
Oozed class throughout and barely broke sweat. An aerial threat in both boxes and helped set up Casey’s goal. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. Ollie Casey - 8/10
Stabbed home his first Blackpool goal on a rare start. Looked composed on the ball and made a vital last-ditch tackle. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
5. James Husband - 7/10
Supported well down the left and got into some cracking positions, but lacked quality on occasion. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. Kenny Dougall - 9/10
On top form against his former side. Dominated midfield and provided the free-kick for Casey’s goal. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
