Half-Time Report: Blackpool leading at Scunthorpe United

Scunthorpe United are succumbing to a 1-0 defeat against Blackpool in their League One clash at Glanford Park.

Within a few seconds of the start Tom Hopper managed to charge down an attempted clearance from the visitors, but the ball bobbled over to goalkeeper Colin Doyle and out of danger.

The Tangerines stopper had to be called into action time and time again as decent chances from Kevin van Veen, Sean McAllister and Paddy Madden all failed to breach the last man's lines.

Despite the Iron's dominance, it was Blackpool who took the lead as Brad Potts bundled the ball over the line following a corner in the 35th minute.

Scott Laird nearly edged his side back on level terms on the stroke of half time, but his header was stopped on the line from Doyle after appearing bound for the bottom corner.
