Hoilett continues hot-streak for Rovers

Blackburn forward Junior Hoilett’s time at Ewood Park could well be coming to end but his parting gift could yet be to keep the club in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old, who seems increasingly unlikely to renew a contract which expires in the summer, scored the crucial opening goal as Rovers moved six points clear of relegation.

Hoilett’s well-taken volley just before the hour last night was followed by a late header from Ayegbeni Yakubu to give Rovers an important victory with nine games remaining.
