Half-Time Report: Joshua King fires Blackburn Rovers into the lead

Joshua King's goal has given Blackburn Rovers a 1-0 lead at half time against Bolton Wanderers this afternoon.

Shane Duffy spurned a decent chance for Blackburn when he headed over the bar from Ryan Tunnicliffe's delivery.

Eidur Gudjohnsen was making his first appearance since signing earlier this month, and the Icelandic striker went close before the half-hour mark when he fired over the bar from Liam Feeney's cross.

Jordan Rhodes responded for Rovers but the Scot's effort also went over the bar after a good ball from Ben Marshall in the build-up.

Lee Chung-yong saw a shot saved for Bolton before Marhsall fired in an effort from a tight angle for Rovers on 35 minutes before King opened the scoring.

King escaped the attention of the Bolton defence before rounding the goalkeeper and calmly converting for his first goal since March four minutes before the break.
