Blackpool 2 - 1 Nottm Forest


Blackpool came from behind to beat Nottingham Forest at Bloomfield Road and earn the advantage after the first leg of their Championship play-off. Chris Cohen put the visitors ahead with a sublime curler but Keith Southern turned in Ian Evatt's cross to level.Dexter Blackstock headed against the bar and Stephen Crainey twice cleared off the line as Forest poured forward.But Charlie Adam won it for Blackpool from the penalty spot after James Perch had brought down DJ Campbell.Campbell , who had been a major doubt for the match, might have given Blackpool a two-goal lead to take into Tuesday's second leg at the City Ground but the striker shot high and wide from a good position inside the box.

That was with 20 minutes remaining, and it would not have flattered the hosts after they shook off a poor start to claw their way back into the contest and dominate the second half. Adam stepped up to coolly dispatch the spot-kick, for his 18th goal of the season.As the match swung from end to end, Blackstock saw a header drift wide and Campbell lofted a shot over the bar.Substitute Ben Burgess almost grabbed a third goal for the home side with a shot that whistled past the post.

The final chance of the game fell to Cohen, and he almost restored parity but Gilks produced a stunning save to parry the drive wide.
