A late Olivier Ntcham goal was enough to give Swansea City their first Championship win of the season at a sun drenched Bloomfield Road.
It was the Swans first win in Blackpool for 43 years, as Ntcham’s 87th minute strike and Andy Fisher’s second half penalty save, ensured the Swans returned to south Wales with all 3 points, along with a jubilant travelling Jack Army of over 1,400.
Next up for Russell Martin and his men is the visit of Millwall to the Swansea dot com stadium on Tuesday evening, with the Swans looking for their first home win of the campaign.
