Preston 3-1 Blackpool
Preston see out victory. There was no late spirited Blackpool comeback in the end.
A comfortable performance throughout after a frantic start, Preston keep their play-off hopes alive courtesy of a Brad Potts volley, a stunning Ben Whiteman free-kick and Tom Cannon's counter-attacking goal.
Blackpool didn't play poorly by any means and gained a late consolation through Jerry Yates, but defeat leaves Mick McCarthy's side in deep trouble and four points adrift and possibly more by the day's end.
Four minute added on at Deepdale.
Blackpool couldn't, could they?
