Blackpool comfortably defeated League Two strugglers Forest Green Rovers to set up an FA Cup third-round tie at Nottingham Forest on 7 January.

Owen Dale's first-half goal gave Neil Critchley's side the lead.

Further goals after the break from Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel and Marvin Ekpiteta sealed the win for the League One promotion hopefuls.

The Seasiders thrashed Forest 4-1 at the same stage of the competition last term although that match was at home.

Blackpool's second-round match against Forest Green was initially postponed as David Horseman's side had fielded an ineligible player in their first-round replay win over non-league Scarborough Athletic, which led to another replay.
