Key Events

  • FT: Swansea 1-1 Blackpool
  • Seasiders make the long trip to South Wales on their return from the international break
  • Neil Critchley’s men could return to the play-offs with a win

Keshi Anderson’s late equaliser rescues the Seasiders a point. Probably the right result in a game low on chances.

Almost a second for Keshi Anderson, whose shot on the turn is headed off the line by a Swansea man.

So close to a late winner!

There will be five minutes of time added on, as Kyle Naughton volleys over for the home side.

Today’s attendance has been announced as 16,886.

86 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!!! (1-1)

Keshi Anderson levels it up!

The winger volleys home after Swans keeper Ben Hamer could only punch away a Blackpool corner.

Get in!

Pool finally get into some space in Swansea’s final third. Josh Bowler receives the ball and lets fly on his weaker right foot, but it takes a deflection and flies just over.

Pool corner.

Swansea are pretty comfortable at the moment. In fact, there’s very little to report at either end.

Impact sub Owen Dale is Pool’s third and final change. He replaces Callum Connolly.

Jake Bidwell, meanwhile, is booked for time wasting for the home side.

Blackpool looking very neat and tidy in possession, but there's no punch (as of yet). Swans seem fairly happy to have the ball in front of them.

Shayne Lavery replaces Jerry Yates to make his first appearance in 7 weeks.

Josh Bowler is Blackpool’s first change of the game, replacing Demetri Mitchell.

Blackpool seeing more of the ball but it's a bit laboured at the moment. Neil Critchley urging his troops forward from the sideline.

Demetri Mitchell escapes punishment despite a nasty looking challenge on Ryan Manning. The Blackpool man went with his boot up to try and control the ball. There was no malicious intent but it could have been a nasty one for the Swansea man.

Callum Connolly’s dragged effort is blocked by a Swansea man after Keshi Anderson’s route into the box had been closed off.

Goes Blackpool’s way. Kyle Naughton’s header back to keeper Ben Hamer seemed to be a fairly simple one, but it misses the intended target and bobbles behind for a corner.

Dujon Sterling deservedly goes into the book for pulling back Swansea’s Ryan Manning. No complaints with that one.

51 - Defensive work

Marvin Ekpiteta makes a vital block to deny Swansea a second as the hosts patiently work the ball into the danger area.

Neil Critchley and Russell Martin having a polite word with each other and the fourth official in front of me. All very cordial, you'll be pleased to know.

Keshi Anderson lays the ball off into the path of Jordan Gabriel, who takes a touch before letting fly. His ambitious effort is blocked though.
