Sonny Carey gets us underway.

Up the mighty Pool!

A booking for Callum Connolly for handling the ball inside the first 20 seconds. Looks like the Swansea players wanted more.

Chris Maxwell gets down to his right to push away Joel Piroe’s dipping low effort.

Jordan Thorniley gets across to thwart Luke Cundle after James Husband had switched off inside the area.

Strong start from the home side.

Ollie Cooper tries his luck from distance but he drags his shot wide. Chris Maxwell dives but he looked to have it covered.

21 - GOAL SWANSEA (1-0)

A ball is lofted towards the back post where Matty Sorinola steers home. Far too much space, far too easy.

A first chance of the evening for Blackpool as a weak header back to the keeper is almost pounced upon by Andy Lyons.

Should be 2-0 Swansea but Ollie Cooper slices well wide after Chris Maxwell could only push a cross straight into his path.

Another let off as Joel Piroe hits the post for Swansea. Should score.

This is a tough watch.
