Sheffield Wednesday victory over Blackpool
Sheff Wed 2, Blackpool 0
JAMES O’Connor’s third goal of the season breathed fresh life into Sheffield Wednesday’s Great Escape bid.
And Darren Potter piled on the agony for Blackpool boss Ian Holloway when he doubled the advantage after the break.
O’Connor gave Alan Irvine’s Owls the perfect start inside three minutes, when heading home his first goal since Boxing Day from Tommy Spurr’s cross.
Paul Rachubka kept out Potter’s deflected effort but, five minutes after the re-start, he fired home his second goal of the season from 15 yards.
