West Brom Vs. Blackpool: Gary-Taylor Fletcher Equalizes For Tangerines

It couldn’t have ended 2-1, could it? A thriller like this deserved at least one more goal, and Gary Taylor-Fletcher has delivered in the 80th minute. This game has been 50-50 in chances, 50-50 in possession, there have been well over 20 shots, and it might be setting records for ground covered by players in one match. To quote the color commentator on my feed, “Scotland played 4-6-0, but Blackpool are playing 4-0-6.”

The goal was assisted by Matthew Phillips, a substitute who was brought into the game by Ian Holloway right after West Brom’s second goal. The 19 year old attacking player has been ambitious ever since he came on, and his spark has helped create the Tangerines’ equalizer. He put a cross into the box for Taylor-Fletcher, and Taylor-Fletcher finished well to equalize the match.

It’s odd to say that a match like this that has been so dead even “deserves” a winner, but it seems like that’s what needs to happen for this game to cement its truly “epic” status.
