Lancastria.net Yea Blackburn!

A massive last 10 minute display by Blackburn at Ewood park this afternoon, leading to a 2-1 over Tottenham, considerably eased the relegation fears for the team.

Tottenham took the lead via a debatable penalty decision after 30 minutes, Robbie Keane tapping it in for Tottenham.

Tottenham by this point were in total control, however things took a dramatic turn when Spurs player Palacios was sent off after 80 minutes.

Rovers took full advantage of this, the first being Benni Mcarthy at 82minutes.
