Rovers in seventh heaven
Posted on 5:14 PM by barraq
Blackburn Rovers climbed up to the lofty heights of seventh after a 2-0 win over West Brom at Ewood Park on Sunday.
The Baggies started the game brightly but were pegged back when Gabriel Tamas scored an own goal.
Junior Hoilett then scored a stunning solo goal two minutes after the restart to condemn the Baggies to their fifth defeat in six league games.
West Brom will feel aggrieved they were not awarded a spot-kick when Peter Odemwingie was fouled in the box but the referee failed to award the spot-kick.
Steve Kean handed starts to January signings Roque Santa Cruz and Jermaine Jones while Albion welcomed back key defender Jonas Olsson after injury and suspension.
Paul Robinson was forced to make a decent save from Odemwingie's fierce shot with only 30 seconds gone, and that set the tone for a lively first half.
In the 13th minute, the Rovers goalkeeper was almost caught out when Paul Scharner nipped in front of him to collect a deflected cross and laid the ball back to Jerome Thomas, whose shot nicked off Robinson and drifted a yard wide of the far post.
