马特最后送走了弗利特伍德

马蒂·菲利普斯的帽子戏法帮助布莱克浦5-1击败弗利特伍德，终结了他们在海布里足总杯第三轮的希望。

这位20岁的球员在本赛季早些时候从谢菲尔德联队成功租借回来后，已经在四场比赛中打入7球，在米基·梅隆的球队一度威胁要成为头条新闻后，他控制了比赛。这支非联赛球队非常不幸，在第一节的大部分时间里占据优势，被布莱克浦替补门将马克·霍华德的四次精彩扑救拒绝后，未能在半场结束前扳平比分。布莱克浦也不得不感谢霍华德在下半场的另一个精彩的停球，弗利特伍德的热射杰米·瓦尔迪缩小了分差，并威胁到伊恩·霍洛韦的队员们在最后半小时的焦虑。霍洛韦已经明确表示了他的意图，他的球队在沿菲尔德海岸电车轨道8英里的旅程中只做了4次改变，以面对本赛季主要目标是晋级足球联赛的弗利特伍德队。客队很快就适应了他们狭小的环境，菲利普斯在第18分钟扑出弗利特伍德门将斯科特·戴维斯的射门，随后瓦尔迪接到彼得·蒂尔的传中，头球攻门。布莱克浦在第24分钟取得领先，洛马纳·卢阿卢亚接到鲍勃·哈里斯的直传，然后在守门员戴维斯面前破门破门。但是如果揭幕战的目的是为了压制弗利特伍德想要在足总杯上翻盘的热情，那么它就产生了相反的效果，因为主队向前冲，他们可以认为自己非常不幸没有扳回比分。橘队门将霍华德在第27分钟完成了一次精彩的两次扑救，阻挡了瓦尔迪的低射，而蒂尔的头球攻门却打在了横梁上。五分钟后，霍华德又上演了一场英雄壮举，他挡开了安德鲁·曼根的射门，然后接住了瓦尔迪开出的角球。布莱克浦在上半场伤停补时阶段几乎扩大了领先优势，汤姆·因斯的射门被戴维斯挡出，菲利普斯随后的射门被弗利特伍德队长史蒂夫·麦克纳尔蒂挡出。 Phillips' curling effort into the top corner inside two minutes of the restart appeared to have killed off Fleetwood's hopes of the second half revival, but Mellon's men kept pressing and Varney flashed a header onto the roof of the net. Ince swept home Blackpool's third from a right-wing cross by Neil Eardley in the 55th minute but the hosts were still not spent and got their reward in the 70th minute when the dangerous Varney fired home. The striker, whose 15 goals in 17 games to date this season have had some of Blackpool's Championship rivals interested, stole into the left side of the box and struck low past Howard. Vardy briefly threatened to haul Fleetwood back into the game with another swinging left-foot effort from a Mangan corner two minutes later, which Howard once again saved superbly. Phillips hit the post from long range in the 75th minute before wrapping the game up with a late solo show, knocking in his second on 77 after Lua Lua's initial effort was blocked, and completing his hat-trick nine minutes from time.
