Freddy Eastwood's fine strike earned Coventry a deserved point following a 1-1 Championship draw against Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

Coventry made a bright start to the game and created their first chance inside the opening minute, although Aron Gunnarsson's speculative 30-yard shot did not threaten Blackpool's goal.

Eastwood then headed wide from Daniel Fox's corner after seven minutes, before David Vaughan fired wide for the hosts.

Ben Burgess broke the deadlock for the home side in the 58th minute when Gary Taylor-Fletcher played a one-two with Steve Kabba before crossing to the edge of the area for Burgess to stroke home.

But Eastwood grabbed an equaliser for Coventry after 69.

The former Southend man received the ball from Leon McKenzie and evaded his marker with a fine turn before firing an angled shot inside the near post.
