Half-Time Report: Dan Gosling fires Blackpool into lead

Dan Gosling fires Blackpool into a narrow 2-1 lead over Blackburn Rovers at half time in a tight contest at Bloomfield Road.

Blackpool have secured a slender 2-1 half-time lead over Blackburn Rovers at Bloomfield Road, courtesy of a Dan Gosling strike.

The hosts went ahead on 13 minutes through Thomas Ince, who won a penalty before slotting beyond goalkeeper Jake Kean from 12 yards.

Rovers responded well to the deficit and came close to providing a swift riposte, with Jordan Rhodes floating a cross in for Joshua King whose volley narrowly cleared the crossbar.

Shortly after Gary Bowyer's men were level, with referee Paul Tierney pointing to the spot following a hand ball as Rhodes fired past Matt Gilks to restore parity and claim his 10th of the season.

The Tangerine came agonisingly close to re-establishing their one-goal lead, as defender Jack Robinson saw his bid to restore the advantage rebuffed by Jason Lowe who cleared the youngster's effort off the line.

Gosling soon succeeded where Robinson failed, though, as the former Everton starlet rifled past Kean to give his team a narrow half-time lead.
