Result: Ricardo Fuller header gives Blackpool win

An early goal from Ricardo Fuller gives Blackpool all three points against Millwall in the Championship.

A first-half header from Ricardo Fuller has led Blackpool to a 1-0 win over Millwall at Bloomfield Road in the Championship this evening.

Steve Morison came close to giving the visitors an early lead, striking the crossbar while trying to lob the ball over Matt Gilks.

The Blackpool keeper had to remain alert as Martyn Woolford tested him with a powerful strike, while David Goodwillie hit the post.

However, the home side broke the deadlock when Tony McMahon crossed the ball from a corner, setting up Fuller for the header.

Morison had a chance to get Millwall back on level terms just three minutes later when he was brought down in the box, but Gilks was able to punch his penalty away.

The Lions continued to create goal-scoring opportunities throughout the first half, including another effort for Woolford which was kept out by the post.

David Forde was forced to make a save early in the second half as Blackpool looked to double their lead, as Goodwillie tried to tap the ball in from a Fuller flick forward.

The Seasiders continued to test the Millwall defence as Kirk Broadfoot tried to head in from a McMahon free kick, while Goodwillie drifted offside while looking for a way through.

Steven Davies came off the bench to give Blackpool some fresh legs late on, but headed wide from a corner inside the final 10 minutes.

Ian Holloway's men came close to clinching a late equaliser against his former side, but Gilks was able to comfortably hold Shaun Williams's curling free kick, ensuring a win for the home side.
