Blackpool boss Holloway: Liverpool victory best of season

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway rates victory over Liverpool as their best of the season.

Fernando Torres had given his side the ideal start by firing home in only the third minute but Gary Taylor-Fletcher equalised soon after and DJ Campbell struck the winner with 21 minutes to go as the Seasiders completed a Barclays Premier League double over the Reds.

"It is the best of the lot I think - to go behind so early it could have been a long horrible night but I'm so proud of my lads," he said.

"It didn't affect us and we carried on and got the equaliser and I said to them at half-time that the next goal was vital and we could really knock the stuffing out of them and it happened.

"If you'd said to me at the start of the season we'd get six points off Liverpool home and away I'd have said you were doolally.

"I'd have got you a nice straitjacket and said 'get lost', but we've done it."
