Blackpool extend unbeaten run with draw against Luton
Posted Sunday, September 23, 2018 by PA
Blackpool stretched their unbeaten run in League One to seven games with a 0-0 draw against Luton at Bloomfield Road.
The result moves the Tangerines up to eighth in the table, with Nathan Jones’ side slipping down to 12th.
Neither team could find a breakthrough in the opening 45 minutes, with Andrew Shinnie having Luton’s clearest chance but his low drive was saved by Mark Howard after 23 minutes.
Liam Feeney had the hosts’ best opportunity but his 25-yard strike was tipped over by James Shea after 29 minutes.
Luton started the second half brightly and Jorge Grant tested Howard after 51 minutes with an effort from just inside the area.
However, Blackpool weathered that spell of Hatters pressure and Jordan Thompson almost found a breakthrough on the hour-mark – but his header from Nathan Delfouneso’s cross drifted just wide.
The Hatters almost stole all three points in the 88th minute as Elliot Lee forced Howard into a fine save with a long-range strike that the Seasiders goalkeeper kept out superbly.
