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
44 - All quiet...
No doubting the effectiveness of Swansea's approach but it's not exactly conducive to a good atmosphere. Absolutely dead in here despite the home side's lead.
35 - GOAL SWANSEA (1-0)
No pressure on the ball, but what a goal that is from Joel Piroe. Cuts back onto his right from 25 yards and sends a swerving effort into the top corner. No chance for Grimshaw.
Work to do for Pool.
32 - Close
Ryan Wintle curls a delightful free-kick into the Swansea box but somehow it evades everybody. It only needed a touch!
28 - No penalty
Ethan Laird goes down in the box under pressure from Reece James. No penalty.
Hmm, close one...
26 - Discipline
Blackpool keeping their shape and defending well so far. James Husband in particular on the front foot and nipping in to make some vital interceptions.
24 - Saved
That’s a really smart flick from Demetri Mitchell to set Jerry Yates free down the left. He takes a touch to settle himself before firing in between a defender’s legs, but it’s straight at the keeper Ben Hamer who claims easily.
21 - Lost opportunity
Jerry Yates squanders a good chance for Pool to break, as he gets the ball stuck under his feet after being picked out by Reece James.
Demetri Mitchell had made a darting run over on the right flank which went ignored.
18 - Phew
Almost a calamity for Blackpool there as Ekpiteta and Grimshaw collide as they attempt to deal with a ball over the top. Pool thankfully scramble away.
