Kilgallon delighted with resolute display

Blackburn Rovers defender Matthew Kilgallon has revealed his delight with his side's resilience as they held Liverpool to a goalless draw to earn a replay in their FA Cup quarter-final clash.

Rovers put in a solid display at Anfield as the Reds struggled to carve out many clear-cut opportunities, coming closest when Kolo Toure hit the post with a second-half header.

Kilgallon told BT Sport: "It was 90 minutes of concentration. They had a lot of the ball but the lads worked for each other.

"Rudy [Gestede] is a massive threat for any centre-half. It was hard work out there but we are so happy with a clean sheet. I really enjoyed it and it's something to tell everyone about when you're finished."

The date of the replay at Ewood Park has yet to be confirmed by the Football Association.
