Blackpool 4-0 Peterborough
Saturday 29 August 2026 14:34, UK
Blackpool continued their unbeaten start to the League One season with a convincing 4-0 victory over Peterborough.
It had already been a positive week at Bloomfield Road, with fan favourite Jerry Yates returning to the Fylde Coast alongside fellow new addition Josh Earl.
And it did not take long for the striker to get on the scoresheet after coming off the bench, as he extended the Seasiders' advantage following earlier goals from Jordan Williams, Dion Charles and Karoy Anderson.
The first big chance of the game fell to Peterborough striker Harry Leonard as he saw a close-range header stopped by the quick reactions of in-form Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
But Blackpool put themselves in the driving seat with two goals in two minutes.
Williams made the most of defensive confusion to open the scoring in the 19th minute, while Charles quickly added the second from close-range after the ball was parried by Posh goalkeeper Alex Bass.
Anderson flicked home a header from a George Honeyman cross in the 56th minute to all-but secure victory.
Yates was brought on in the 64th minute and eight minutes later he produced his big moment when he tapped home the fourth.
