Swansea City FC 3-6 Blackpool FC
Not without a fight. Swansea City put up a entertaining performance against Blackpool this afternoon only to come out the loser in a 9 goal thriller at Liberty Stadium. Swansea started the match off with intent and went ahead 1-0 with Izzy Iriekpen's goal in the 14th minute but faster than the home crowd could sing "To the sheep-shaggers one-nil" to the visiting English, Blackpool were up 2-1 by halftime. The team talk at the interval must have worked, and goals from Lee Trundle and another from Iriekpen put the Swans back in the lead 3-2. Blackpool equalized shortly thereafter prompting Swansea coach Roberto Martinez, knowing a victory was needed to ensure a chance at the League 1 playoffs, to pull off a defender and introduce another attacker to the match. Unfortunately the move would backfire as Blackpool scored 3 unanswered goals to put the match away. The capacity crowd was the best we've been a part of at the Liberty and in spite of the result the match was a good way to end our time supporting the Swans face-to-face. Thanks for the memories Swansea City FC.
