Football League Wrap: Pool misery continues
Blackpool's season of misery continued as Grant Hall's own goal robbed them of a rare win against Reading on Tuesday.
Relegated to League One on Monday after Rotherham United's 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion, Blackpool were hopeful of giving their fans something to cheer 24 hours later.
But Hall's unfortunate own goal in the 46th minute saw both sides share the spoils in a 1-1 Championship draw at Bloomfield Road.
Jamie O'Hara had given Lee Clark's men - who have won just four times this season and conceding a whopping 80 goals - a sixth-minute lead from the penalty spot.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Charlton Athletic and Fulham also played out a 1-1 stalemate at The Valley.
Ross McCormack put Fulham in front in the eighth minute but their joy was short-lived as Johann Berg Gudmundsson levelled proceedings soon after.
In League One, leaders Bristol City moved a step closer to achieving automatic promotion with a 3-0 home win over Swindon Town.
Steve Cotterill's side - who have five games to play and are 13 points clear of third-placed MK Dons - took the lead through Kieran Agard in the 36th minute.
