Championship reaction: Swansea City 1 - 1 Blackpool

 Blackpool claimed a Championship point thanks to Keshi Anderson's late equaliser at Swansea City.

Joel Piroe's goal had looked set to give Swansea a fifth straight home win. In a game of not many chances, Anderson prodded home to extend Blackpool's unbeaten away run. 

Highlights

Watch the highlights in the video below. One Blackpool fan commented: "Looks like Swansea had a good shout for one penalty the other a bit soft. VAR in the championship would have given it. 

Saying that it would have probably meant another five points for us from the Stoke and QPR games so win some lose some and today fir a change we got away with it. What I do like is this new Blackpool team never give up. Well done Neil!"

All the reaction

After the match, Swansea head coach Russell Martin told the media: "The best thing about the first half was the goal. We got to the box and didn't go for the jugular because they didn't feel it was the right moment. 

"There were a few murmurings but we were patient and then Joel has time and space to do what he did, that's because we were patient."

Blackpool head coach Neil Critchley added:  "You know what you are going to face when you come to Swansea. They play a unique brand of football. They are the best footballing team in the division and they have an outstanding home record.

"We decided to change our system and play differently today. I think we gave them problems without the ball in the first half."
