Posted Wednesday, October 21, 2015 by PA

Jack Redshaw's late penalty rescued a much-needed point for Blackpool as they drew 1-1 at home to 10-man Millwall.

The visitors had the best of the opening exchanges as Steve Morison headed over inside the first minute before Aidan O'Brien shot wide following Joe Martin's cross.

Blackpool's first chance arrived on the 26th minute when Mark Cullen let fire from the edge of the area but Jordan Archer was equal to it - tipping the ball onto the crossbar before gathering at the second attempt.

Mark Beevers opened the scoring for Millwall on the 35th minute with a close-range volley after Morison headed Shaun Williams' corner against the crossbar.

Chances were scarce throughout but O'Brien carved himself into a good position ten yards out on the hour mark but he shot into the side netting.

Nine minutes from time the Seasiders drew level. Carlos Edwards was dismissed for bundling over half-time substitute Bright Osayi-Samuel in the penalty area and Redshaw duly converted the resulting spot kick, slamming home off the underside of the crossbar.
