Blackpool 2-0 Southend United

Jacob Blyth's goal was only his second of the season for Blackpool

Blackpool made it four games unbeaten and took another step towards safety by beating play-off-chasing Southend.

Jamar Loza missed a chance to put the Shrimpers ahead when he hit the post from two yards before visiting keeper Daniel Bentley denied Brad Potts.

Blackpool went in front after the break when David Norris' shot fell to Mark Cullen and he headed in from six yards.

The hosts sealed it when Cullen's cut-back was slotted in by Jacob Blyth, as he grabbed his first goal for the club.
