Middlesbrough 1-2 Blackpool: Marvin Ekpiteta and a Grant Hall own goal see Tangerines claim victory over Boro

Blackpool came from a goal down to win for only the second time this season in an entertaining game against Middlesbrough.

Marcus Tavernier put Boro into the lead early on from close range before he teed up Andraz Sporar, who hit the bar.

Blackpool also struck the woodwork after the break through Shayne Lavery before Marvin Ekpiteta rifled them level.

Grant Hall then turned a corner into his own net with 12 minutes to go and, although Martin Payero cracked the underside of the bar for Boro, the Tangerines climbed out of the bottom three with just their second win in 43 Championship away games.
