Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Aston Villa's meeting with Blackburn in the Premier League.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

Game over. A thumping 4-1 win for Villa. Well worth their win. Easily the better side.

Nelsen picks up his second yellow of the day and he is off the park for bringing down Young. Nelsen was booked for taking out Bent in the lead-up to the third goal.

Four minutes to be added to the match.

Rovers will be content to get back up the road. Not much to take from this as the ball drops off Kalinic before going through to Friedel.

Villa with 19 shots on goal in the match. This has been an impressive performance from Houllier's side in the second period. There has been no let up.

Heskey almost in for number five. Inches away from converting inside the box. Fine cross by Downing. All Villa.

Young goes for goal. Over the bar. Well over. Not that it is going to make much difference. Villa heading for a 4-1 victory.

Young is taken down by Nzonzi. Free-kick to the home team, who are seeking a fifth goal.

Gabriel Agbonlahor looking a bit puzzled on the bench. No action for him today. Downing back on the ball for the home side.

Fine shot by Kalinic! Just swerved wide of the goal. That contained some pace. He has had an impact for the visiting side.

Emile Heskey arrives to take over from Bent. The Villa fans are loving this.

GOAL FOR VILLA! Brilliant finish by Young from Downing's pass. No chance for Robinson as the ball flies past him high to his left. Poor defending again.

GOAL FOR ROVERS! Sub Kalinic sees a deflected shot crack off the foot off Dunne and fly over Friedel from 25 yards. A bit of luck for Rovers. Surely only a consolation.

Villa will move a point above Blackburn in the table with this win. They will be in 12th spot with Blackburn in 13th.

A change for Rovers as Andrews departs to be replaced by Steven Nzonzi.

Dunne, Downing and Reo-Coker all content to keep the ball before Nelsen comes across to knock the ball out of play.

Lovely bit of skill by Petrov to backheel the ball to Young. Villa with their tails up as they go in search of a fourth goal.

Albrighton at the heart of all the Villa moves. This time tries to pick out Bent, but headed away by the Rovers defence. Rovers manager Steve Kean is looking none too pleased.

Stiliyan Petrov has been brought on to replace Pires. A standing ovation for Pires.
