BLACKPOOL, England (April 3, 2026) (Interstat) — Tom Bloxham’s first-half goal gave Blackpool a 1-0 victory over Exeter City in a League One match Friday at Bloomfield Road Stadium.

The midfielder scored in the 29th minute, finishing an attack assisted by George Honeyman. Substitute Ilmari Niskanen was later credited with a secondary assist on the play. The lone goal defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, whose simulator had forecast a 1-1 draw despite giving Blackpool a 70.8% probability to win.

The result gave Blackpool a winning start to its league campaign, while Exeter City began with a loss. Honeyman and Niskanen each received yellow cards in the second half.
