Published: April 07, 2018
Former Aston Villa wonderkid Nathan Delfouneso netted his first professional hat-trick as Blackpool claimed a 5-0 win over Bradford City at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon in an EFL League One clash.
Delfouneso struck in the 16th minute to open the scoring for the Seasiders after meeting a cross from Daniel.
Former Nigeria U23 invitee Viv Solomon-Otabor, who was involved in the build up to Blackpool's first goal, weaved his way past two defenders before slotting into the far corner to make it 2-0.
The Birmingham City loanee came close to increasing the lead but his effort from 20 yards out rattled the woodwork.
Blackpool led 3-0 at the break, with Delfouneso tapping in a cross from Colin Daniel on 29 minutes.
Delfouneso completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute before Longstaff made it five with ten minutes remaining.
In the provisional standings, Blackpool are 15th on the 24 team table with 50 points accumulated.
