Blackpool 0-3 Luton Town: Hatters cruise to victory at Bloomfield Road

Elijah Adebayo took his goal tally for the season to nine

Goals from Sonny Bradley, Elijah Adebayo and Jordan Clark gave Luton a resounding victory over out-of-form Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

Bradley headed home Kai Naismith's corner three minutes before half-time.

Adebayo nodded in off the post after keeper Chris Maxwell had misjudged Clark's 54th-minute cross.

And Clark added a late third after being teed up by Admiral Muskwe's cut-back.

Bradley's first-half opener came after Blackpool had almost taken the lead, when Keshi Anderson fired a loose ball against the post after keeper James Shea had parried Reece James' shot.

They also went close to scoring when Ryan Wintle's strike was superbly tipped away by Shea.

But there was no way back for the Seasiders once Adebayo helped himself to his ninth goal of the season.

Clark's cool finish capped a fine day for the Hatters, who had failed to score in their previous three away matches.

Luton moved up to 12th in the Championship table, while Blackpool drop to 15th and have now gone six matches without a win.

Blackpool manager Neil Critchley told BBC Sport Lancashire:

"The game is decided in both penalty areas and we've not done enough in both.

"We created opportunities in the first half and played some really good football.

"We've hit the post, which was a bit of misfortune. If that goes in and you're 1-0 up then maybe it's a different game.

"We need to do better at both ends of the pitch. They produced quality that we didn't. That's why they've won the game.

"At 2-0 I felt 'If we get a goal we'll get something out of this game'. We didn't do that and they go and get the third goal and then it looks like a real beating and a really poor performance. It wasn't."

Luton manager Nathan Jones:

"We were outstanding. We defended the box extremely well, apart from a few shots or scrambles in the first half. I thought we were really comfortable.

"The conditions made things difficult. It has been apocalyptic up here, with the wind and the rain, so we knew it was going to be a tough game and it is a tough place to come.

"I thought we were excellent. Tactically we were spot on. In terms of our pressing, we limited them to very little and we could have scored more."
