Daniel Udoh at the double for Wycombe but Blackpool twice hit back for a point

Managerless Blackpool twice came from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw against Wycombe in the Sky Bet League One contest at Bloomfield Road.

Garath McCleary’s opener was cancelled out by a Kyle Joseph header in the first half and Jake Beesley levelled late on after a Daniel Udoh screamer had put the visitors in the driving seat.

Blackpool had the better of the early stages but were caught napping in the 10th minute when Udoh forced a save from Richard O’Donnell and McCleary headed in an easy rebound.

The Seasiders pushed for a leveller with Dom Ballard hitting the post and finally got it when Joseph headed through a crowd from a 32nd-minute corner.

After the break, the hosts’ Ashley Fletcher had a golden opportunity from within six yards but his header was caught by goalkeeper Franco Ravizzoli.

The Chairboys took the lead for the second time in the 79th minute. Udoh, easily their best player, fired a powerful low left-foot shot past O’Donnell from 25 yards.

Blackpool may have been down but they were not out and substitute Beesley headed home brilliantly from a free-kick delivery with five minutes left.

The hosts nearly completed the turnaround in added time with another Joseph header but Ravizzoli made an excellent double save to preserve the point for Wycombe.
