Match Report

Swansea grabbed a remarkable and controversial win in the dying stages as they used their knowledge of the laws of the game to good effect.

Blackpool looked to have snatched an unlikely point before amazing scenes eight minutes from time made it eight games unbeaten for Kenny Jackett's high-fliers.

Midfielder Leon Britton played a pass through to striker Lee Trundle but the Swansea top scorer was in offside position. Meanwhile, the Blackpool defenders were too busy applauding the assistant referee's flag to notice the ball roll into the net untouched.

And referee Olivier was quite right in his decision to give the goal and award it to Britton as the offside Trundle had not interfered with play.

It was heartbreak for Blackpool who thought they had earned a point as they twice came from behind to level matters.

Trundle had opened the scoring for the Swans when he fired home his 10th of a season on 22 minutes via the underside of the bar.

But Seasiders striker Keigan Parker restored parity on 36 minutes when he beat the offside trap to fire low past Swansea keeper Willy Gueret.

Adebayo Akinfenwa handed Swansea the lead once again when he coolly finished from the edge of the box before half time, but the hosts were left to rue missed chances when Ciaran Donnelly headed home a deflected Lee Morris cross with 20 minutes remaining.

But Blackpool were left rocked by the controversial decision in the game's latter stages with manager Colin Hendry leading the protests against the official but there was no such argument from the home side who are now sitting pretty at the top of the League One table.
