Ben Brereton Díaz’s first-half strike gave a 1-0 win over bottom club and closed the gap on leaders Burnley to two points. The Championship’s joint top-scorer lit up a forgettable first-half by holding off two defenders and hammering a 12-yard strike into the left corner for his fifth in five games at Ewood Park to set up a mouth-watering derby between the top two next Sunday.
The Blackburn head coach, Jon Dahl Tomasson, said: “We deserved to win but the game should have been killed before and then we can have an easy afternoon.”
