Bright Osayi-Samuel scored twice for the visitors, with Mark Cullen adding a penalty.

Cullen struck the woodwork twice for Blackpool before doubling their advantage from the spot in the 68th minute.

Mickey Demetriou fouled Osayi-Samuel in the box and Cullen converted his spot-kick.

Swansea loanee Samuel responded with a goal five minutes later after shrugging off two defenders, but Osayi-Samuel closed the game out with Blackpool's third.
