Blackpool are leading Championship leaders Leicester City 1-0 after 45 minutes of their match at the King Power Stadium this afternoon.
Riyad Mahrez had an early sight of goal for the home side when he cut in from the right and worked himself some space, before bending an effort wide of the far post.
They came close again moments later when Anthony Knockaert was found in space inside the box by Jeff Schlupp, but he fired his attempt into the side-netting from a tight angle.
Leicester were dominating the opening exchanges and David Nugent was next to come close, as he burst into the box before drilling a strike wide.
Mahrez almost opened the scoring when his low shot crept under Matt Gilks, but the keeper recovered in time to stop the ball on the line.
Blackpool then almost took the lead against the run of play when Neal Bishop rose unmarked to meet Andrew Halliday's corner at the back post, but he directed his header wide.
Jamie Vardy should have found the back of the net for the home side on the half-hour mark when he met Ritchie de Laet's low cross at the front post, before placing his effort wide.
The striker missed another big opportunity to put Leicester ahead minutes later as he latched on to Mahrez's through-ball, before placing an effort wide of the post with the keeper beaten.
Four minutes before the break Blackpool took the lead, as Jack Robinson's long throw was missed by Kasper Schmeichel and David Goodwillie was on hand to fire in from close range.
