Blackpool v Huddersfield Town - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 0-3 Huddersfield Town
- Seasiders aiming to make it back-to-back league wins
- Ollie Turton set to make his return to Bloomfield Road after surprise summer exit
48 - Goal Huddersfield (0-1)
Wow, it’s a goal out of nothing for the away side.
It’s a fantastic strike though, it has to be said. Josh Koroma absolutely thunders the ball home from 25 yards. Chris Maxwell actually looked to be taken aback by the strike.
Harsh on Blackpool.
47 - Simple save
A long throw into the Blackpool box falls kindly for Daniel Sinani, whose low goalbound effort is straight at Chris Maxwell.
HALF TIME
A good controlled display from the Seasiders, but no breakthrough yet. The visitors have offered very little. There’s been a few moans and groans from the away end, which is always a good sign.
45+1 - Close
After offering virtually nothing all half, the away side almost take the lead with the final action of the half. Daniel Sinani is allowed to surge towards the edge of the Pool box, where his long-range effort deflects and wrongfoots Chris Maxwell.
Thankfully it bounces inches wide.
45 - Injury time
There will be just one minute of time added on at the end of the first-half.
Huddersfield pump the ball into the Blackpool box from a wide free-kick, but the Seasiders deal with it well. The away side have a throw-in though.
40 - Block!
Richard Keogh throws his body on the line to make a superb block from Daniel Sinani.
Pool break and win a corner after Ryan Wintle’s long-range effort deflected up and out.
39 - Frustration
The referee is getting a little fussy, blowing for some fairly innocuous comings-together. It’s making for a stop-start affair.
37 - Close!
Shayne Lavery goes close at the near post from Luke Garbutt’s corner. The Pool fans think it’s gone in, but unfortunately it bounced the wrong side of the post.
