Result: Leeds United 0-5 Blackpool

Blackpool leapfrog Leeds in the Championship table with a 5-0 hammering at Elland Road.

A Jonjo Shelvey hat-trick has helped Blackpool to leapfrog Leeds United in the Championship table with a 5-0 win at Elland Road.

Kazenga Lualua gave the visitors the lead after 13 minutes when he hit home after goalkeeper Paul Rachubka had parried.

Rachubka was at fault for Blackpool's second goal when his fumble led to Tom Lees's handball in the area. Shelvey scored from the spot but had to take the kick again as Lees had not left the field. The 19-year-old put his second attempt in the same place to double his side's lead.

The Leeds keeper spilled again for the third goal which saw Shelvey capitalise.

Rachubka was taken off at half time for Alex Cairns, but the youngster could do little to stop the away side's fourth goal as Lualua smashed the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area.

The rout was complete with just over 10 minutes to play when Shelvey calmly slotted home for his hat-trick.

Ian Holloway's side are now eighth in the Championship table, while Simon Grayson's team sit in 10th.
