On-loan forward Nathan Delfouneso has scored his first and second goals for Blackpool to give them a half-time lead over Middlesbrough this evening.

High-flying Blackpool were ahead inside the first ten minutes when Delfouneso sprung the offside trap and slotted past Jason Steele.

The striker, who is on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, doubled the Tangerines' advantage ten minutes before the break by sidefooting in from the edge of the area.

Boro ended the half on top, however, and were level when Andre Amougou headed home moments after George Friend hit the bar.
