Jack Marriott salvaged Fleetwood a dramatic late point in a six-goal Lancashire derby thriller at Highbury.
The Cod Army looked set to secure bragging rights against their neighbours for the first time in five years after a quick-fire first-half burst.
Blackpool had a great early chance when Jordan Rhodes' strike rattled the crossbar after just six minutes.
Promise Omochere opened the scoring for the hosts after 13 minutes after he was left in plenty of space to pick his spot.
And Lee Johnson's side doubled their lead five minutes later as the Seasiders made a mess of clearing a corner, with Marriott poking home the rebound.
