Blackpool manager Paul Ince has admitted that Friday's 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship was a "fair result".

Gary MacKenzie gave the visitors a 64th-minute lead at Ewood Park, but Jordan Rhodes struck 11 minutes from time to earn the home side a share of the spoils.

"It's a fair result," former Rovers boss Ince told Sky Sports News.

"The first half was poor really, the players got involved in the occasion rather than actually playing the game - it was all about headers and tackles and getting knockdowns.

"It's okay if it's the last couple of minutes of the game but we started to go deep as soon as we scored the goal in the 64th minute. You can't do that and we got punished for it."

The draw has steered Blackpool five points clear of the drop zone in the Championship table.
