Owen Dale returned to haunt old club Portsmouth as Blackpool ended the south coast side's club record 27-game unbeaten Sky Bet League One run with a 4-0 win at Fratton Park.
Former Pompey loanee Dale, Jake Beesley, CJ Hamilton and Albie Morgan scored the goals as 10-man Pompey were knocked off the top of the table by Bolton.
The Seasiders took the lead in the ninth minute as Hamilton crossed for the unmarked Dale to find the net.
Pompey should have equalised midway through the first half but new signing Josh Martin could not beat goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw in a one-on-one situation.
Grimshaw then produced a stunning push out from Marvin Ekpiteta's sliced attempted clearance a few minutes later.
