Blackpool 2-2 West Bromwich Albion (3-2 pens): Sam Allardyce’s Baggies suffer FA Cup shock
Sam Allardyce’s problem start to his reign as West Brom supervisor continued as his previous club Blackpool knocked the Baggies out of the FA Cup on charges.
Two Times the League One club led as Jerry Yates swept in Bez Lubala’s cross from close quarters and Gary Madine rubbed into the bottom corner from 20 backyards.
Semi Ajayi’s header and Matheus Pereira’s charge, granted for an Ollie Turton handball, required additional time.
However Chris Maxwell conserved 3 shootout spot-kicks to send out Blackpool through.
More to follow.
