Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Blackpool v Sunderland from Bloomfield Road.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

Full-time: Blackpool 1-2 Sunderland. An important three points for Sunderland to continue their quest for Europe.

Matt Phillips heads wide. Is that Blackpool's last chance?

Bramble now heads clear as Blackpool continue to pump the ball into the box.

Luke Varney uses his hand to control the ball, following a deflection off Anton Ferdinand, and the striker's foray into the box is therefore to no avail. Instead, he is booked for foul language.

Six minutes of stoppage time for Blackpool to try and grab an equaliser, following those earlier injuries to Crainey and Kingson.

Good save by Gordon from Ian Evatt's curling 30-yard effort, as Blackpool continue to press.

Varney wins a corner for Blackpool and suddenly the Tangerines' tails are up. From the delivery, Harewood heads the ball wide of goal via a deflection off of Titus Bramble.

GOAL FOR BLACKPOOL! BLACKPOOL 1-2 SUNDERLAND (Charlie Adam) It's a clear dive from David Vaughan to win the penalty, but Adam calmly dispatches, shooting low to Gordon's right. Can they sneak a late equaliser now?

Blackpool now driving forward, and being beckoned on by Holloway on the touchline, but they lack the quality in the final third at the moment.

Gyan collapses to the ground clutching his ankle, and Holloway tells Neal Eardley to kick the ball into touch. That sparks an angry reaction between the Blackpool manager and his player. Surprise, surprise Gyan gets up and is ok to continue.

Adam strikes well over following a Blackpool short corner. It's not clicking for the Scot at the moment.

Adam goes down in the Sunderland box looking for a penalty but it's a clear dive, with Jack Colback making minimal contact.

Brett Ormerod balloons a cross from the right past the Sunderland box and out for a throw-in on the left.

Blackpool struggling to find any rhythm at the moment, and Sunderland look very comfortable at 2-0.

Sunderland's Gyan sweeps a lovely ball into the path of Jordan Henderson and his dinked shot from a central position travels just over Rachubka's goal.
