Live Commentary
Time:90'- Blackburn Rovers
- Burnley
90'+6 There goes the final whistle! And Blackburn take the derby spoils, winning 3-2!
90'+4 Terrible challenge by Jensen! He legs it off his line and upends Roberts over by the touchline! Yellow for the Beast!
90'+3 Oooh! Dunn can finish it here! But he dithers and ends up seeing his shot blocked! It falls to Pedersen who lashes over the bar!
90'+2 GOAL! EAGLES PULLS ONE BACK FOR BURNLEY! Jordan picks out the substitute around the penalty spot and he finishes well past Robinson! Is there still time?- 90' Four minutes of added time to be played...
- 90' Oooh! That looks like it was in! Eagles strikes a crisp effort that Robinson does well to tip round the corner!
- 87' Samba goes into the book now, for saying a few ill-advised words to the referee...
87' Here comes another change... Givet comes on to replace goalscorer Chimbonda.- 86' Mears now goes into the book...
- 85' Five minutes remaining for Burnley to get something out of this game...
- 83' Carlisle slides in on Dunn... that's a poor challenge and he deserves the yellow card he is shown.
- 82' Here comes Brett Emerton for El Hadji-Diouf...
- 80' Alexander! Ooh! Blocked by a Blackburn shirt!
- 77' Bikey is brought off, MacDonald on. That's all three changes made for Burnley now.
- 75' Franco Di Santo is brought off to a rapturous reception as Jason Roberts comes on.
- 74' Blackburn give it away cheaply, allowing Blake to break... he feeds Eagles, but the former Manchester United man can't find a finish!
- 72' Here comes another change for Burnley... Thompson on for Nugent.
- 70' Jensen again flaps on a cross into the box! He gets away with it again, but he really looks shaky today...
- 69' Ooh! Robinson nearly gets on the scoresheet for Rovers! He lumps another free-kick into the Burnley box where Jensen collides with Samba... the ball goes over his head and bounces over the bar!
- 67' Elliot piles into the back of Chimbonda and there's a bit of afters... no big deal though and play continues.
- 64' Elliot has a chance to find someone in the box now... but his delivery is poor and the opportunity is wasted.
- 61' This is much better from Burnley! They're managing to apply a bit of pressure on the Blackburn defence for the first time this half...
- 60' Eagles nearly makes an immediate impact as he breaks... he feeds Blake on the left who tries to find Nugent in the middle! Scrambled clear by the Rovers defence!
- 59' Burnley make a change as Chris Eagles comes on to replace Steven Fletcher... half an hour to make a difference.
- 57' Flether falls to the ground moments before Bikey also falls to the deck... not sure what happened to the latter - it was off the ball...
- 55' Jensen claims the corner as Mears gets a knee from Pedersen in the face... unintentional though...
- 54' Burnley look improved this half... although that said, that's a terrible ball by Carlisle... Di Santo takes advantage and Blackburn win a corner!
- 51' Nzonzi is penalised for a foul and then talks his way into the book for remonstrating a little too much.
- 49' Chance for Fletcher! He plays a one-two with Nugent on the edge of the box but flashes his shot wide of the upright!
- 47' Pedersen takes on his man and gets to the by-line before Mears steps in to win a goal kick!
46' Back underway at Ewood! No changes to tell you about.- 45'+3 There goes the whistle! And Blackburn head in with a 3-1 lead, having fought back from an early goal down!
- 45' Three minutes of time added on to be played...
- 44' Fletcher looks to make amends immediately with a snap shot from 25 yards which Robinson needs to be alert to keep out!
- 43' GOAL! It's another for Blackburn! And another cracker, this time from Chimbonda with his first for the club! Fletcher fails to pick up the Frenchman's run as he latches onto Pedersen's nod forward... Fletcher scrambles to get back but Chimbonda cuts back inside him before finding the far corner! 3-1 now!
- 41' Dunn delivers it... again Samba gets on the end of it! This time Jensen claims as the ball loops back across the face of goal.
- 40' Bikey sends Diouf sprawling and Blackburn have yet another opportunity to test Burnley's resolve with a ball into the box.
- 39' Pedersen does well to keep the ball in before playing it through for Dunn! But the Lancashire lad is offside and the flag goes up!
- 38' The whistles go up again and that can only mean one thing - Burnley are in possession...
- 36' Dunn again goes for goal! But he can't find a way through this time...
- 34' Again Nzonzi uses his height to win a header... and again Burnley struggle to cope with Blackburn's long ball game...
- 32' Bikey kicks Nzonzi's boot and the Burnley man crumples to the ground! Ouch...
- 31' Caldwell threatens at the other end as he gets his head to a free-kick delivered to the far post! But instead of going back across the face of goal, he directs his header wide of the post!
- 29' SAMBA! Ooh! He heads over from the corner! He was all alone then, and perhaps should have done better!
- 28' Dunn feeds Diouf on the Rovers' right... that's a great ball in from the Senegal international... Di Santo's there! But he can't direct his header on target... an error from Jensen gives Blackburn a corner nevertheless!
- 27' Dunn goes for goal from distance following Di Santo's lay off! Jensen is well behind the effort this time though!
- 24' Burnley are rocking now after having got off to that wonderful start. They're having problems dealing with Rovers' long balls into the box.
- 22' Di Santo is booked for his goal celebration, which involved heading towards the Blackburn end, where his own fans mob him!
- 21' GOAL! DI SANTO PUTS ROVERS INTO THE LEAD! Dunn's free-kick is headed back across the face of goal where Jordan gets in Jensen's way... the ball bounces to Alexander, whose attempted headed clearance is woeful and goes straight to Di Santo! The Argentine can't believe his luck and he nods into an empty net! Huge defensive cock-up by Burnley and Blackburn lead 2-1!
- 20' Jaceobsen wins a free-kick off Blake... and again Blackburn have the chance to deliver a ball into the opposition box...
- 18' Pedersen comes across to take the throw... it's another long one... Jensen comes but fails to deal with it! Fortunately for him, it falls to a claret shirt and the danger passes...
- 17' Great pressuring from Dunn who chases down the Burnley defence... Jordan is forced into hacking into the stands!
- 16' Nzozni falls awkwardly as he goes up for a header with Caldwell... but the Frenchman is okay to continue.
- 15' Diouf! Oooh! Should have been another! Pedersen and Dunn are the architects, the ball eventually finding Nzonzi, who slips it to Diouf in space... he shoots, but he drags it wide of the far post, when he should have at least found the target!
- 13' Breathless stuff early on at Ewood... Mears is penalised for a little clip on Pedersen...
11' Samba's got blood on his shirt from a facial wound and the big man will have to go off to get it treated...- 10' Great stuff at Ewood! This is what derbies are all about!
- 9' GOAL! DUNN LEVELS THINGS UP! Another cracking goal! Pedersen's ball into Di Santo is beautifually laid off for Dunn, who sidefoots low past Jensen into the bottom corner to draw Rovers back on level terms!
- 7' Elliot and Chimbonda clash on the far side as Burnley fans ask their opposite numbers if they can sing a song for them!
- 6' What an incredible start for Burnley! Their first goal on the road this season... and what a place to get it!
- 5' GOAL! Blake puts Burnley into a sensational early lead! What a strike from the Clarets striker! Elliot slips the ball into Blake and with the opposition defence backing off, he decides to go for goal! And he finds the back of the net with a stunning effort past Robinson from 25 yards!
- 4' Pedersen launches a long throw into the Burnley box... Samba can't do anything with it and the visiots can break....
- 3' It's lumped up to Samba, who backs into his man Jordan... he brings it down and shoots on the turn! Over the bar, but he will pose all sorts of problems from set pieces today...
- 3' Free-kick for Blackburn now, which Robinson will come forward to take...
- 2' Pedersen looks to get onto a long ball fowards, but Mears is there to cut out the danger with his head.
- 1' Burnley keep possession from kick-off and immediatley a chorus of boos ring out...
1' Here we go! Underway in a cracking atmosphere at Ewood Park!- - Here come the teams to a rapturous reception from both sets of fans!
- - David Dunn is one to watch - he's Blackburn's only Lancashire-born player so he'll be sure to be up for the challenge today. He's also Rovers' top scorer so far this season.
- - Burnley boss Owen Coyle sends out an unchanged side.
- - So, Rovers boss Sam Allardyce makes three changes to his starting XI, with Ryan Nelsen, Chris Samba and Morten Gamst Pedersen all returning having missed the heavy defeat by Arsenal.
- - Today's referee is Chris Foy (Merseyside).
- - Burnley: Jensen, Mears, Carlisle, Caldwell, Jordan, Elliott, Alexander, Bikey, Blake, Nugent, Steven Fletcher. Subs: Penny, Kalvenes, Duff, McDonald, Gudjonsson, Thompson, Eagles
- - Blackburn: Robinson, Jacobsen, Samba, Nelsen, Chimbonda, Nzonzi, Andrews, Diouf, Dunn, Pedersen, Di Santo. Subs: Brown, Givet, Emerton, Roberts, McCarthy, Hoilett, Salgado
- - Burnley have lost all four of their away matches this season without scoring a goal. They are the fourth team in Premier League history to lose their opening four away matches of the season without scoring - after Southampton (1998-99), Aston Villa (2002-03) and Derby County (2007-08).
- - Rovers have picked up just seven points from seven matches this season - their worst record at this stage of the season in five years since they had five points in 2004-05.
- - Blackburn head into the game on the cusp of the relegation zone in 17th place, while Burnley are five points and seven places better off and looking comfortable in mid-table.
- - But this is the two club's first top flight meeting in over 43 years since Burnley's 2-0 win at Ewood Park in old Division One on New Year's Day 1966.
- - Of those previous meetings, Blackburn have won 36, Burnley 33 and there have been 13 draws.
- - Blackburn welcome local rivals Burnley to Ewood Park for the 83rd East Lancashire derby in the league.
