Blackpool came from behind to beat Nottingham Forest at Bloomfield Road and earn the advantage after the first leg of their Championship play-off.Chris Cohen put the visitors ahead with a sublime curler but Keith Southern turned in Ian Evatt's cross to level. Dexter Blackstock headed against the bar and Stephen Crainey twice cleared off the line as Forest poured forward. But Charlie Adam won it for Blackpool from the penalty spot after James Perch had brought down DJ Campbell. Campbell , who had been a major doubt for the match, might have given Blackpool a two-goal lead to take into Tuesday's second leg at the City Ground but the striker shot high and wide from a good position inside the box.
That was with 20 minutes remaining, and it would not have flattered the hosts after they shook off a poor start to claw their way back into the contest and dominate the second half. However, the Seasiders needed a top-class save from keeper Matt Gilks, who turned Cohen's drive around the post in the last minute, to maintain their lead. (BBC Sport)
