It was the visitors who had the first chance of the match, with Gael Givet picking up a loose ball in the box but he put his shot well over.

The hosts responded within minutes, as Thomas Ince cut inside before curling his 25-yard effort just wide of the post.

Blackburn responded, and forced Matt Gilks into making two smart saves in a minute - the first from Jordan Rhodes before a long-range effort from Simon Vuckevic.

However, it was the Seasiders who went ahead midway through the first half, as Thomas rose highest to nod home from a Nathan Delfouneso cross.

Rovers came close to an equaliser 10 minutes before the break, as Joshua King found space and looked to find Dickson Etuhu in the middle, but shot wide.

The visitors were then denied a leveller by the post, as Vuckevic shot from inside the area before his effort bounced off the upright.
