Gabriel Agbonlahor put Villa head, finishing a blistering break by taking the ball around keeper Richard Kingson before shooting from a tight angle. Elliott Grandin equalised for Blackpool with a near-post header from a corner, before Kingson denied Stewart Downing. Jean Makoun was dismissed for a late tackle on DJ Campbell after the break, while Ashley Young shot wide late on. Ian Holloway's Tangerines had lost seven of their previous eight fixtures, with their only top-flight triumph this year a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on 12 January. That run of form had seen them slip to a season-low of 15th going into the contest, just two points above the relegation zone. (BBC Sport)
Everton 5 - 3 Blackpool
Louis Saha grabbed four goals as Everton broke Blackpool's spirited resistance in a remarkable game. The hosts dominated before the break and Saha stroked them ahead but Alex Baptiste's six-yard shot levelled it. A neat near-post Saha effort made it 2-1 but Jason Puncheon's side-footed finish and Charlie Adam's measured header put the visitors ahead. Saha headed home to make it 3-3 and he added his fourth on the break after Jermaine Beckford volleyed number four. It was a quite awesome match at a rain-soaked Goodison Park, full of incident, controversy and free-flowing, no-holds barred attacking football. (BBC Sport)

TANGERINE BATTLE CRY!!
In Ollie we trust! We will stop the rot and get back to winning ways. We will remain a Premier League Team
Andy Reid and James Beattie captured by Blackpool
Blackpool have signed midfielder Andy Reid from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee, while also taking striker James Beattie on loan from Rangers. But they managed to keep hold of captain Charlie Adam despite a last-ditch bid from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said a deal was agreed but the paperwork was not completed before the deadline. Blackpool had previously rejected a £6.5m offer from Liverpool for the 25-year-old Scotland international. Redknapp told talkSPORT: "Daniel [Levy] rang me late on and asked if I like Charlie Adam. I said 'yes, he's a fantastic footballer'. He said do you want him, I said 'can we get him? We pushed on and tried to do it, Daniel was confident he could get it through. It went to the wire but we missed out by minutes.' The Tangerines have also taken Zenit St Petersburg striker Sergei Kornilenko, 27, on loan for the rest of the season. Kornilenko, a Belarus international, has recently had loan spells with Tom Tomsk and Rubin Kazan and will add to manager Ian Holloway's strike options. .... BBC Sport

Blackpool 1 - 3 West Ham
Victor Obinna followed up his weekend hat-trick with two goals as West Ham beat Blackpool to move off the foot of the Premier League table. Keeper Richard Kingson's blunder gifted him the opening goal, before debutant Robbie Keane volleyed in a second. Blackpool's Charlie Adam scored from a corner only for Obinna's rasping shot to make it 3-1 before half-time. Neil Eardley thumped a free-kick against the bar as the Seasiders laid siege in the second half but West Ham held on. (BBC Sport)
Blackpool 2 - 3 Man Utd
Manchester United staged a stunning late comeback to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League table with victory at Blackpool. United's attempt to extend their unbeaten league sequence to 23 games this season looked to be in shreds as the Seasiders - managed by Ian Holloway - roared into a fully deserved two-goal lead at the interval.
Blackpool still held the advantage given to them by two headed goals, from former United youngster Craig Cathcart and DJ Campbell, with only 18 minutes left - but they were then hit by a torrent of attacks that brought United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's visitors an unlikely triumph.
And Ferguson himself was able to take much of the credit for the turnaround following his decision to remove a subdued Wayne Rooney after 66 minutes and replace the England man with Javier Hernandez, who went on to play a crucial role in United's fightback. (BBC Sport)

Blackpool reject three bids for Charlie Adam
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has said the club have rejected offers from three clubs for midfielder Charlie Adam - including a £4m bid from Liverpool. Adam, 25, has been key to Blackpool's success this term and Holloway said Birmingham and Liverpool had joined Aston Villa in the hunt for the Scot. But Holloway has described the bids for his skipper as "derisory".
"If Charlie is only worth £4m then I'm a Scotsman called McTavish. It is insulting," said Holloway. (BBC Sport)

West Brom 3 - 2 Blackpool
Peter Odemwingie scored twice as West Brom ended a run of five successive Premier League defeats with a 3-2 win over Blackpool at The Hawthorns. David Vaughan put the visitors in front with a 25-yard left-foot strike but Odemwingie slotted home from 10 yards. After the break, James Morrison tapped in from close range, but Gary Taylor-Fletcher's back-post shot looked to have earned the Tangerines a point. However, Odemwingie volleyed in a deserved winner for a dominant Albion. (BBC Sport)

Blackpool 1 - 2 Birmingham
Scott Dann's late winner lifted Birmingham City out of the Premier League relegation zone after a pulsating encounter with Blackpool. Dann latched on to a header from his central defensive partner Roger Johnson before slotting past Richard Kingson. The visitors had taken a first-half lead when Stephen Crainey's error gifted a goal to Alexander Hleb. A DJ Campbell volley looked to have salvaged a point for the hosts before Dann's 89th-minute winner. The goal handed Birmingham their first away league win of the season and catapulted them four places up the table to 15th. But it was cruel on Blackpool, who had more than played their part in a riveting match in which both sides created countless chances, with the visitors striking the woodwork twice and the hosts once.

Man City 1 - 0 Blackpool
Manchester City kept up the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester United as they produced a battling performance to see off Blackpool. Carlos Tevez shot wide after 24 seconds before Gary Taylor-Fletcher forced Joe Hart to save as Blackpool improved. But City went ahead when Adam Johnson's 25-yarder was deflected in and Tevez missed from the penalty spot soon after following a foul on Yaya Toure. Tevez missed a host of second-half chances but City did enough to win. The result keeps City, who were hanging on to the win at the end, on the same points as neighbours United at the top of the division after the Red Devils' 2-1 win at West Brom earlier on Saturday, though City have played two games more. For a while, Blackpool appeared to have heeded their warning as they took the game to their high-flying hosts and began to cause some mischief at the other end, as Taylor-Fletcher collected an Adam pass and forced Hart into a flying save with a 12-yard shot towards the far corner.

Sunderland 0 Blackpool 2
It was Blackpool who took the lead with 52 minutes gone after Phillips forced Bardsley to concede a right-wing corner.David Vaughan played the corner short to Neil Eardley, who cut inside on to his left foot to send in a cross which Ian Evatt flicked on for Campbell to volley home from close range. The visitors might have increased their lead within a minute when Phillips fired in a rasping shot which flew just wide of Gordon's right post. Sunderland were stung back into life and launched a series of raids deep into enemy territory, but too often their final ball lacked the required quality to trouble Kingson and his defenders. There was little wrong with Henderson's firmly-struck 58th-minute cross to the near post, by Gyan could not keep the ball down as he slid in to meet it. Bruce immediately made his move when he replaced Meyler with Kieran Richardson in the search for greater creativity. However, the visitors might have increased their lead twice within a minute as the home side wilted. (Daily Mail)
