Saturday 4 May 2019 20:03, UK
Tom Eaves scored twice as Gillingham ended their League One campaign on a high with a 3-0 victory over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
Brandon Hanlan's ninth goal of the campaign gave the Kent side an early advantage while Gills top scorer Eaves netted twice before half-time.
The Gills took the lead inside seven minutes when Hanlan worked his way into the Seasiders' box and produced a delightful finish past Christoffer Mafoumbi.
Armand Gnanduillet's persistence in the 25th minute was nearly rewarded but Barry Fuller blocked his effort on the line.
Gillingham doubled their lead on the half-hour though Eaves' marvellous effort into the bottom corner which flew past Mafoumbi.
