Blackpool 1-1 Bolton Wanderers

Lee Chung-yong's late equaliser for Bolton denied rock-bottom Blackpool just their second win of the season.

The South Korea international fired a low shot into the corner after the ball broke to him on the edge of the box.

Blackpool's on-loan striker Jacob Murphy put the hosts in front 15 minutes from time with a curling free-kick into the top left corner.

But Lee struck seven minutes later to keep the Seasiders nine points adrift at the foot of the table.

The situation looks increasingly bleak for Lee Clark's men as their only league victory this term remains a 1-0 win against Cardiff on 3 October.

They almost went in front on 18 minutes when Jacob Mellis's deflected shot from 25 yards looped over Bolton goalkeeper Andy Lonergan and bounced back off the crossbar.

Shortly after it was the visitors who hit the woodwork as Lee's low shot rebounded off the post and Liam Feeney fired the follow-up wide.

Donervon Daniels spurned a great chance for Blackpool when he lashed wide from eight yards before Nile Ranger headed Murphy's corner over on the stroke of half-time.

After the break Bolton's Josh Vela over-hit a back-pass to Lonergan, who had to scramble back to prevent an own goal before Murphy flashed a 20-yard shot just wide.

Blackpool's pressure eventually paid off when Murphy, on-loan from Norwich City, was brought down on the edge of the area and stepped up to place a sublime free-kick past Lonergan.

Their joy was short-lived as Bolton equalised against the run of play through Lee, a result which kept Neil Lennon's side just above the relegation zone on goal difference.

Blackpool boss Lee Clark: "I was delighted with many aspects of the game. That performance is the standard-bearer now and, if we produce games like that between now and the end of the season, we will gain points on the teams above us.

"We've got to get wins. I'm even more confident now than when I walked in because I believe the players are fitter and they have more confidence."

Bolton boss Neil Lennon: "I'm disappointed that we haven't come here and won with the form that we've been showing. I think that's a measure of where we've come so quickly.

"You have to remember that Blackpool are scrapping for their lives and there is a structure to the way that Lee has them set up."
