Posted on: Sat 25 Aug 2007

F-T Wolves 2 (Eastwood 69, 78) Blackpool 1 (Taylor-Fletcher 51)

A vastly improved second half performance resulted in a brace for Freddy Eastwood after Blackpool had taken the lead.

The visitors enjoyed a good share of the first half possession and had a shot by Gary Taylor Fletcher cleared off the line by Michael Gray 17 minutes.

Wes Hoolahan should have put the visitors ahead on 20 minutes but his effort went high.

Blackpool were dominating the half but their lack of accuracy in front of goal was preventing them taking a deserved lead.

Eastwood came close to hooking the ball past Paul Rachubka on 38 minutes after a goalmouth scramble but the ball drifted just wide.

H-T: Wolves 0 Blackpool 0

Wolves started the second half much better, with Kevin Foley and Andy Keogh combining well before the striker's shot went just wide.

But the Tangerines were soon back into their stride and Taylor-Fletcher fired home an angled shot past Wayne Hennessey on 51 minutes.

Wolves made two changes four minutes later with Neill Collins and Karl Henry replacing Gray and Darren Potter.

After a decidedly quiet period, Keogh held the ball up and crossed for Eastwood, who raced into space and fired home on 69 minutes.

After superb work by Michael Kightly, Keogh's header was parried by the keeper and Eastwood followed up to put Wolves in front on 78 minutes.

Keigon Parker had the easiest of chances to equalise for Blackpool when he was one-on-one with Hennessey but his attempt to chip the Wolves keeper resulted in a simple save for the Welshman.
