Blackburn Rovers scored two late goals to come from behind and beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in a Premier League match at Ewood Park. More
90+3 That's the final whistle! Rovers snatch an unlikely win! Diouf is kicking off at something, not sure what or who...
89' The corner is swung near post by Tugay AND GOMES FLAPS AND IT DROPS TO OOIJER WHO POKES IT IN! Rovers turn it around with two late goals and, after playing so well, Gomes messes it up AGAIN!
88' Rovers come forward, Andrews on the right, he drags it back to the edge of the box and Jenas sliding in misses it AND WARNOCK HAMMERS IT TO THE ROOF OF THE NET BUT TIPPED OVER BY GOMES!
84' Tugay plays it across to Samba who doesn't see Dunn, Spurs clear but it's with Diouf on the right and he swings a cross in that McCarthy dives in to meet but can't head on goal BUT SAMBA WITH A BICYCLE KICK straight at Gomes though!!
83' SPURS SUB: Zokora on for Lennon.
82' Corner to Bolton which Diouf takes and it seems to hit Keane in the midriff which is not a penalty though the crowd bays for one. The linesman gives a corner after Dunn and Jenas challenge... Spurs don't clear it, it bounces to Samba who brushes Woodgate off and drills it low across goal AND A SIMPLE FINISH FOR MCCARTHY! 1-1!
80' Palacios slides in on Dunn, he pulls out before swinging a leg but Peter Walton buys Dunn's dive and Walton - in keeping with his performance today - shows him a second yellow card. Of course, Dunn is English, so he didn't really dive. That, my friend, is cheating.
78' Palacios is booked.
76' Ooijer plays it down the right for Diouf, who ambles forward and swings in a great knee-height cross and McCarthy dives in but he heads it wide of the near post! What a chance! On target and Gomes would have had no chance!!
68' Keane comes forward, Rovers are standing off him, he goes wide to Lennon who beats Givet and smashes a low cross along the six-yard line but Bent and Keane can't get there and hacked away!
66' Samba is booked for shoving Jenas in the back.
65' Assou-Ekotto plays a great low ball to Bent but he can't get there! In the build-up Jenas intercepted a Tugay pass with his arm, entirely accidentally and in exactly the same manner as Givet's "penalty". The fans are singing a song questioning Walton's knowledge of the game.
63' ROVERS SUB: Tugay on for Mokoena. Palacios is still receiving treatment for what was actually a forearm smash from Mokoena, right in front of the ref too.
48' Long ball, high down the middle and Woodgate lets Samba get behind him, he flicks it across to McCarthy who holds it up for DIOUF WHO CAN SHOOT but he can't get it away and Spurs survive.
46' Second half underway.
46' BLACKBURN SUB: Jason Roberts has a foot problem and is replaced by Andre Ooijer. It seems that Ooijer will play centre half and Chris Samba go up front as a big lump of a centre forward.
45+3 Half time, 1-0 to Spurs but all the talk will be about that penalty.
45+2 Rovers have a throw on the left, Givet to take... long into the box and Samba flicks on for WARNOCK WITH THE DRIVE but wide!
45+1 Another corner to Spurs as we enter two minutes of injury time... good delivery by Modric from the right and Woodgate flies in but heads wide! Nelsen was alongside him and seemed to put him off just enough.
30' The ball isn't even on the spot, it's in front of it but Walton lets Keane take it anyway and the Irishman drills it low to Robinson's right into the corner for 1-0! A double gift from Walton. Weak refereeing, the mistake for giving the penalty you can take - even though the linesman kept his flag down, he was right in front of it too - but letting Keane take it from in front of the penalty spot? Poor.
29' Lennon on the right, just outside the box and he crosses, Givet blocks and the ref gives a penalty! Shocking decision, his arm was flat by his side! If anything he tried to move it away behind his back. Penalty Spurs and Big Sam is fuming.
27' Gomes with a roll to Lennon, dangerous but he gets clear and slides it wide, Corluka gets in on the right, he cuts inside and has a crack but side netting!
25' ROVERS SUB: Pedersen cannot continue, he limps off and is replaced by David Dunn.
24' Not good news for Blackburn as Pedersen goes down needing treatment...
22' Break by Spurs, again they look wide to Bent who races past Givet to create space to shoot but this time he fires weakly at Robinson. Rovers win a throw on the left, again Pedersen to take it aiming for Samba... Great throw again and Samva causes all kinds of problems with King missing the header AND DIOUF MUST SCORE BUT A BRILLIANT BLOCK BY ASSOU-EKOTTO! Corner, but should have been 1-0. Pedersen is a bit of a Delap it seems.
18' Lennon plays it down the right but is caught late, play on, Palacios storms forward, beats Mokoena and slides it wide right to Bent whose first touch is excellent and he fires it low for the far post but a great save, tipped away by Robinson! Good use of the advantage by Peter Walton.
13' Modric to deliver the corner from the left, he sends it near post AND KING WITH THE FLICK ON BUT ACROSS THE FACE OF GOAL BUT JUST BEYOND JENAS AT THE FAR POST! Closest chance so far.
12' Assou-Ekotto plays it wide to Keane who is in on the left, goes back to Bent but Warnock slides in to intercept, it drops for MODRIC WHO SHOOTS but Warnock again blocks, it loops over for a corner.
11' Good covering from Warnock to track back when it was taken short to Lennon. Rovers break and it's with Pedersen on the left, he digs out a great cross for DIOUF ARRIVING FAR POST but he heads wide! Good chance, although Robinson had it covered.
9' McCarthy is flagged offside after a flick from Diouf, it was close but correct.

nice game Black burn. keep going for it.

The next season is going to be a cracking season for football. With the new promotions this should
be an interesting time.

laterron, Hope you have fun playing QPR next season.

the most important is the result
Rovers 2 - 1 Hotspurs
just let anyone tell his opinions, the result won't changed.
go go rovers..!!

Walton proves what a bad ref can do - decide the relegation battle! Blackburn arguably are almost safe after his terrible decision to send off Palacios. After the Italy v Irish game Keane incredibly insisted it was harder to play against 10 (as an Italian was sent off after 3 minutes!), well Blackburn certainly found it easier to play against 10, especially with the really poor Bent and ineffective Robbie Keane standing around watching their beleaguered defence.The Spurs boss Redknapp must feel angry with some of his players as well as the diabolical Peter Walton.
Credit to Blackburn for taking full advantage of the lifeline given to them by Walton, but this was robbery!

Well done Rovers,i cant not beilive what a difference tugay makes every time he steps on the pitch,well done to the old man,what is he now 39-40 yrs old,other young boys should watch and learn

. All you spurs complain about the red card but what about the penalty? You only got the red card with a few minutes to play but that early penalty gave you guys an advantage for most of the game. go blues!!!

HA HA ROBBIE YOU GOAL STEALING LITTLE GIT.YOU ROBBED NOEL HUNTS GOAL AND SAID IT WAS YOUR OWN U GOT IN THE IRELAND V ITALY MATCH,AND WHEN YOU GOT BOOTED OUT OF THE POOL BYE THE WAY U SAID THAT YOU ALWAYS WONTED TO PLAY FOR THE POOL AND THAT YOU WERE A CHILD HOOD FAN WHAT HAPPNED ROB YOU SAID EVEN IF THE POOL WIN THE LEAGUE YOU WOULD GIVE YOUR MEDAL TO YOUR BRO YOU ARE A JUMPED UP LITTLE GIT AND I DONT NO WHY L.POOL BOUGHT YOU OR WHY HARRY BOUGHT YOU BACK YOU ARENT WORTH S@IT AND HOPEFULLY SPURS SELL UR @#$%

I guess that Harry Redknapp one of the worsed coaches in primier
league.He does not have any game concept. And the most bad that at it is favourites and players whom he does not appreciate. Therefore Pav sits on a bench. As a supporter of Spartak , and it would be desirable to tell: Pav run therefrom. Even without game practice he has well played for a national team.

The best team won the ref did all he could to help Spurs win.
C'mon you Blues

harry potter watta manager!!! whatta loony hahaha . sack him

Well done Bolton!

Spurs into Europe with a top 7 finish you're having a bubble ain't ya Arry

Spurs were by far the better side,we only lost because of the s***t ref and that red card.Spurs are still better.

Re Omar,
Stick to predicting when you may want an @#$% because your footy predicting is @#$% as well.

blackburn win 2-1 comon
who's the best now?

damn funny HotspuR

Strange how gooners fans have to belittle themselves with comments on someone elses game.Blackburn fans have the bragging rights by all means.I don't care what goes on with other games,neither will i comment on them.SAD!!

Ha Ha.
I love watching toottenham, puts such a big smile on my face!!
Gooner 4 Life!!!
