Half-Time Report: Blackburn Rovers complete first-half comeback

Blackburn complete first-half comeback

Daryl Murphy's 26th goal of the season has been cancelled out by goals from Jordan Rhodes and Craig Conway as Blackburn Rovers lead Ipswich Town 2-1 at half time.

The visitors took the lead when Murphy volleyed home emphatically from a Jay Tabb corner inside the opening two minutes.

Blackburn nearly hit back instantly through a corner of their own, but with the goal at his mercy Rhodes somehow failed to connect with Conway's delivery.

The flurry of corners continued as Luke Chambers headed another Tabb set piece over the top, before Freddie Sears rattled the crossbar with a volley from a tight angle.

Rhodes then prodded a Marcus Olsson cross into the arms of Bartosz Bialkowski's before Rhodes drew Blackburn level with a close-range finish.

The hosts completed a remarkable first-half turnaround when Conway lashed home from Rudy Gestede's flick-on just before the break.
