LIVE: Blackpool vs PNE

We’re underway in the derby!

Early Blackpool pressure

The home side have been camped in PNE’s half for the opening couple of minutes, winning a corner, but they have been repelled so far.

Whiteman shot saved

North End’s first attack results in Ben Whiteman trying his luck from the edge of the box but it is comfortable for the ‘keeper.

Our view from the press box

Blackpool come forward and their cut back to the edge of the box finds the Australian’s low shot is just past the post.

Riis is played into the channel down the left and his backheel wins the set piece.

North End cause trouble from the corner, Alan Browne volleying at goal but it was blocked and eventually cleared.

The game has been frantic so far, although there have not been too many chances for PNE.

In the main they have dealt with the home side’s threats well so far.

Alan Browne turns well in midfield, plays a ball forward to Emil Riis who in turn tries to feed Johnson but he leaves the midfielder short and the scrambling home side manager to get back.
