Blackpool sink nine-man Baggies

BLACKPOOL claimed their first home Barclays Premier League win last night after promoted rivals West Brom were reduced to nine men in the opening half hour.

Charlie Adam scored from the penalty spot after Baggies defender Pablo Ibanez was harshly sent off as the last man after just 11 minutes.

The away side’s task became even harder when Gonzalo Jara also saw red after 29 minutes, following a ludicrous two-footed challenge on Luke Varney, who scored his side’s second on the hour mark.
