Blackpool 5-2 Scunthorpe

Simon Grayson's debut as temporary boss of Blackpool ended in a thrilling win.

Billy Sharp's left-foot strike put the visitors ahead but John Murphy levelled and then Scunthorpe's Andy Crosby saw red for bringing down Tommy Wright.

Scunthorpe took a surprise lead when Sharp converted a penalty for Robert Edwards' foul on Andy Butler.

But the hosts led at half-time through Ian Morris' header and a crisp Tommy Wright strike before late goals from Murphy and Morris sealed it.
