Blackpool v Blades LIVE
OFF THE BAR
and Blackpool go closest to scoring as Bowler’s effort cannons back off the crossbar, Egan does well to block the follow-up from Hamilton
Good Blades break
sees Ndiaye and MGW combine before Norrington-Davies’s shot was blocked on the left channel
Chance for Blackpool
as Madine gets his head to a well-struck cross, he diverts it goalwards but it goes just over Foderingham’s crossbar - the goalkeeper would have been in trouble there had it been on target
Free-kick Blades
as Osborn is wiped out by Husband as he put the cross in, norwood to take it down the right channel - it goes deep to Egan who wins the header but is penalised for climbing by the referee
Almost a chance for Sharp
as Egan’s raking pass catches out the defence but Grimshaw is out quickly and bravely to boot it away before Sharp could get to the ball
Corner Blades
as Gibbs-White wins it on the right - Osborn and Ndiaye go over to take it and there’s a bit of a scramble, Berge heads it goalwards and Grimshaw tries to keep it out but the lino’s flag was up anyway so it wouldn’t have counted even if it did go ove the line
