Blackpool won their first away League One game under Steve Bruce after beating high-flying Charlton 2-1.
A late Luke Berry effort was not enough to overturn an own goal from Gassan Ahadme and an Albie Morgan strike.
Their early dominance gave them a 27th-minute opener. A deep cross by Rob Apter found the head of Kyle Joseph, although the ball looked to have come off Ahadme.
Ex-Charlton player Morgan doubled the lead against his former club five minutes later, with a good low strike from the edge of the area that Will Mannion could not reach.
The hosts sprung into life in the second half and Harry Tyrer had to pull off a good 51st-minute save from a Lloyd Jones header.
Blackpool almost made it 3-0 in the 58th minute when CJ Hamilton hit the post, while Joseph turned a Dom Ballard cross wide.
Berry followed up a Tyrer fumble in stoppage time to make it a nervy finale for Blackpool, but they held on for three points.
