On This Day
Blackpool take their chances as Villa don't as Villa suffer their heaviest home reverse for three years.
Blackpool take the lead from their first attack, double it, Villa miss a penalty before Johnny Dixon scores for the second successive game all before half time in a 45' which Villa dominated.
The pattern continues in the second half before Blackpool score on 57', sharp finishing claims an opportunitistic goal on 78' before a Danny Blanchflower mistakes gifts Blackpool their fifth.
Villa make it two wins and two defeats in four division one games so far this season.
