Callum McManaman scored the only goal of the game as Blackpool beat Reading 1-0 at Bloomfield Road.
The Royals created several chances in the first half as Jimmy Kebe and Hal Robson-Kanu both came close to breaking the deadlock.
Meanwhile, the home side had a penalty appeal turned down after Reading's Shaun Cummings appeared to impede McManaman in the area.
Ten minutes after the break, the on-loan Wigan man was there once again to this time curl the ball past Reading keeper Adam Federici and into the corner from Matt Phillips's assist.
