Blackburn 3 Derby 1
Blackburn take all 3 points after going a goal down in a match with little importance in this years campaign.This game had little relevance as Blackburn are mathematically unlikely to achieve more than they already have and Derby are already relegated. The match became all the more exciting when Derby moved in front on 19 minutes. The ball was played from a free kick from Roy Carroll and perfectly played passed Brad Friedel st the other end.
As usual this season Derby’s lead was short lived. Before half time Blackburn’s hitman Roque Santa Cruz leveled the score.
Blackburn as anyone would predict went in front very early on in the second half. Jason Roberts the scorer this time on 47 minutes and salt was rubbed into the Derby wound by Santa Cruz 13 minutes from time.
Derby cannot perform in this league and Paul Jewell will be looking forward to when he can begin his campaign in the Championship.
Final score Blackburn 3 Derby 1.
