Blackburn beats Westbrom
Blackburn rode their luck to beat a battling West Brom as they moved up to seventh in the Premier League table.
West Brom defender Gabriel Tamas headed into his own net from David Dunn's cross on 41 minutes.
The impressive David Hoilett then burst on to a Nikola Kalinic lay-off to smash past Boaz Myhill to double the lead just after half-time. But the visitors were unfortunate when Peter Odemwingie was brought down in the box only to be given a free-kick.

Heading For The Exit
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is set to leave the club in the summer and manager Carlo Ancelotti could also be heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door, according to a report in the English press. Real Madrid are said to be strong contenders to sign the 32-year-old forward.
