Blackpool bounce back to knock out Barnsley
Posted Wednesday, August 15, 2018 by PA
Harry Pritchard’s wonderful strike helped Blackpool earn their first win of the season as they came from behind to beat Barnsley 3-1 in the first round of the Carabao Cup.
The Tykes held firm under early pressure with George Moncur opening the scoring against the run of play after 19 minutes.
He collected a high cross from Dimitri Cavare and buried a volley with home goalkeeper Mark Howard rooted to his line.
On the half hour Mark Cullen attempted to latch onto a through ball but his effort was too tame to trouble Barnsley keeper Jack Walton.
Blackpool responded after the restart as Michael Nottingham poked the ball over the line following a scramble in the penalty area from a corner.
Pritchard then curled in a superb effort with the outside of his boot put the Seasiders ahead after 56 minutes – his first goal for the Tangerines.
French striker Armand Gnanduillet then confirmed Blackpool’s place in the second round with a thunderous free-kick in the 80th minute.
