Stockport maintain promotion charge with win at Blackpool

Stockport maintain promotion charge with win at Blackpool

Stockport continued their push at the top end of the League One table with a 2-1 victory over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

Kyle Wootton and Jack Diamond found the back of the net within two minutes of each other in the first half to put the Hatters in control.

Josh Bowler pulled one back for the Seasiders in the final moments of the game, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.

Stockport, now unbeaten in four league games, issued the Seasiders with an early warning, Ben Osborn hitting the bar with a curling effort from the edge of the box.

The visitors broke the deadlock just after the half-hour mark when a ball into the box was met by Wootton, who beat his man to head past Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Diamond’s goal quickly followed, with the winger driving his way into space uncontested before slotting home from the edge of the area.

Peacock-Farrell had to make a number of saves to keep it at 2-0, before Bowler bagged his late goal.
