Aston Villa reached the League Cup final after rallying from 2-0
down to beat Blackburn 6-4.
Villa won the first match of the two-legged semifinal 1-0 and
advanced to the Feb. 28 final 7-4 on aggregate.
Villa trailed 2-0 to two goals by Nikola Kalinic in the first
26 minutes but advanced to its first final of any competition since
2000 with goals by six different players.
Stephen Warnock, James Milner, Steven N'Zonzi with an own
goal, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Emile Heskey put Villa 5-2 ahead and,
although Martin Olsson and Brett Emerton made things uncomfortable
for the home side with goals for Blackburn, Ashley Young completed
the scoring in the 90th minute.
