Premier League: Blackburn Rovers 0-0 Stoke City

The Guardian (Free subscription) | 11/28/2009

A predictable scoreline as far as the cynics were concerned, perhaps, but it was not for want of ambition or enterprise that no goals were scored at Ewood Park yesterday.

Sam Allardyce can prepare for his minor heart operation in good cheer. Allardyce was prevented from returning to his old Bolton stamping ground because of an impending angioplasty, but in his absence Blackburn Rovers did him proud, deservedly winning this Lancashire derby with a first-half goal from the irrepressible David Dunn and one of the most comical own goals of the season after half-time by...

It didn’t take a degree in political science from Stanford University to work out what Sam Allardyce was going to do at half-time with his side a goal down, but Ryan Nelsen has such a thing and was able to take full advantage by setting up the equalizer and then scoring one himself as Blackburn ran out easy winners with three second-half goals.
