Late show denies Wolves

Matt Jarvis' 70th-minute strike looked likely to be the winner for Mick McCarthy's men, after Gary Taylor-Fletcher had cancelled out Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's penalty in an entertaining first half.

However, Blackpool refused to give in and snatched a share of the spoils when Edwards bundled in from close range with six minutes remaining.

The point was no more than the Seasiders deserved following a spirited display in which they more than matched Mick McCarthy's side, who now hold a seven-point advantage at the top of the table.

The game began at a frenetic pace and Wolves took the lead after just four minutes. Edwards hauled down Chris Iwelumo in the area as the striker looked to turn and Ebanks-Blake made no mistake with the resulting spot-kick, sending Paul Rachubka the wrong way with a powerful strike into the bottom left corner.

Blackpool responded well and after seeing a penalty appeal of their own turned down following Matthew Hill's challenge on Taylor-Fletcher, the home side equalised in the 10th minute.

Shaun Barker's long throw from the right was flicked on by Ian Evatt and Taylor-Fletcher sneaked in at the far post to divert the ball past Wayne Hennessey.

Blackpool came close again soon after as Alan Gow's curling left-footed effort was tipped wide by Hennessey, while Matt Jarvis drilled a shot narrowly off target for Wolves after 39 minutes following a fine solo run.

Sam Vokes replaced Iwelumo five minutes later as McCarthy looked to freshen up his forward line, and Wolves went back in front moments later as a perfectly weighted pass from Ebanks-Blake released Jarvis, who this time made no mistake as he lifted the ball over the onrushing Rachubka.

However, Blackpool refused to be beaten and after Evatt had beaten Hennessey to Kyel Reid's right-wing free-kick, Edwards was on hand to smash the ball home from point blank range.
