James Collins scored an 89th-minute winner Thursday to give Aston Villa a 3-2 win over a resilient Blackpool after a frantic finish that ended the host's five-match winless run in the Premier League.
DJ Campbell had equalised for Blackpool just two minutes earlier with a shot from the edge of the box that deflected off Collins and looped over goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
But Collins responded by squeezing his header just inside the post from Stewart Downing's corner.
Downing had given Villa the lead in the 28th, before Marlon Harewood levelled just before halftime. Nathan Delfouneso restored Villa's lead in the 60th with his first of the season.
