Roberts rises to boost Rovers

Sat, 07 Nov 18:16:34 2009

Jason Roberts recovered from a bout of swine flu to leave Portsmouth feeling pig-sick at Ewood Park as Blackburn came from behind to win 3-1.

Jamie O'Hara fired the visitors ahead with a 30-yard strike past Paul Robinson in the 15th minute.

But Roberts clambered off the bench at the break to steer a 52nd-minute equaliser past David James and added Rovers' third after Ryan Nelsen had netted a rare goal to put his side in front.

Pompey's lead came out of nowhere when Aruna Dindane fed O'Hara and he found a way past Robinson with a low shot from 30 yards.

Sam Allardyce's double change at half-time - introducing Roberts and Benni McCarthy - paid dividends when Nelsen headed down David Dunn's corner in the box and Roberts reacted quickest to steer the equaliser past James.

Nelsen's superb 73rd-minute header put the home side in front and Roberts wrapped up the points five minutes from time.
