Blackpool's Championship survival hopes suffered a major blow as West Bromwich Albion boosted their own push for a top-six finish.
Albion's 2-0 win at Bloomfield Road was inspired by the double-barrelled exploits of Brandon Thomas-Asante and Taylor Gardner-Hickman, despite the hosts showing plenty of enterprise themselves.
The Baggies' victory - the first time they have won three successive Tuesday games since October 2007 - left Carlos Corberan's men muscling into the final play-off spot, albeit on goal difference.
For Blackpool the situation has become more stark - the defeat leaves them five points from safety, with three games to play.
