Derby 2-1 Blackpool: Double delight for Davies

Ian Holloway was condemned to his first league away defeat of 2012 after Derby striker Steve Davies produced another chapter in his stunning comeback.

Davies made only his second start since October after fracturing his skull and scored twice to put the brakes on Holloway's promotion charge.

The Seasiders boss said: "We've lost here to two set-pieces and they've got six points off us this season."

Thomas Ince had given the Seasiders a second minute lead but Derby improved in the second half and levelled through Davies' deflected free kick.

And Davies collected his second 15 minutes from time when he rose unmarked to head home namesake Ben Davies' free-kick.

Derby coach Andy Garner said: "Steve has been magnificent and it's great to have him back.

"It's unbelievable that he has come back so well from such an horrific injury."
