Fulham in smash–and–grab win

Blackburn Rovers 0 Fulham 2

It was Rovers' third consecutive home defeat and provided further evidence that Lorenzo Amoruso is struggling at the heart of the defence since his £1.4m move from Rangers.

Souness refused to blame individuals but the Blackburn manager said: "They were both poor goals to give away defensively. We have to defend better and that starts at the front, and we must start to win our home games if we want to do well. It hurts to lose and the way in which we lost hurts."
