Wonderful long range striker from Vaughan is curling into the bottom corner, but draws a top-class diving save from Foster!
90'+2
McLeish is fuming that the whistle hasn't gone yet - is he really that worried about conceding two late goals?

Phillips sees a round-house effort deflected for Southern, who has all the time he needs but snatches at it and sends the ball over.

Entering the final minute and there's no way back now - Blackpool keep pushing but it'll only be for a consolation should they find the net at this stage.

The corner finds Crainey once again but his shot is blocked by a sliding Ferguson.

Crainey has a chance now, but once again it's blocked - corner to Blackpool.

Blackpool win another corner - and it's hit straight to Keith Southern, whose solid header is on target - but straight at Foster. Still, that's the best chance of the half for the visitors.

Once again breaking well, Birmingham win a throw on the right.
