Di'Shon Bernard's first goal in over three years sent Sheffield Wednesday into the League Cup fourth round for the first time since 2015-16
Sheffield Wednesday eased into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with victory at League One Blackpool.
Di'Shon Bernard, who had earlier seen a goal ruled out for offside, gave the Championship side the lead with a crisp close-range finish - his first goal in more than three years.
The home side improved after the break and Dominic Thompson forced a save from keeper Pierce Charles as they looked for a way back into the tie.
Steve Bruce's team never really threatened again after that, though, in a game where Blackpool made 10 changes from Saturday and the visitors made the full 11.
Victory for Wednesday saw the club progress to the fourth round of this competition for the first time since they reached the quarter finals in 2015-16.
The Owls, without a win in the league since the opening weekend, had the better of the opening exchanges and Bernard had the ball in the net with a header only to see the flag go up for offside.
Soon after, Anthony Musaba was booked for the away side after he handled the ball in from close range.
Bernard did put Danny Rohl's team ahead when he finished smartly from Michael Smith's knockdown from Pol Valentin's deep cross.
Blackpool claimed their first league win of the season in Bruce's first game in charge, against Exeter on Saturday, but they were second best against higher-tier opposition.
Liam Palmer nearly added some gloss to the scoreline in time added on but Matt Pennington produced a fine block to deny him.
Wednesday will visit Luton in the league on Saturday, while Blackpool travel to Charlton.
