Blackburn, Yeovil share goalless draw

Blackburn Rovers have extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to nine games following a goalless draw with Yeovil Town at Ewood Park this afternoon.

The home side were denied by the woodwork inside the opening four minutes, when Jason Lowe saw his long-range strike come back off the post.

Rovers came close again moments later as Jordan Rhodes met Craig Conway's cross at the back post, but he put his header wide of the target.

The visitors were in control and Grant Hanley headed wide of the post from Conway's corner, before Tom Cairney saw his free kick blocked at the end of the first half.

After the break Liam Davis was picked out inside the box by Tom Lawrence, but he could only drag his strike wide of the post.

Yeovil threatened again through Joel Grant, whose effort was turned behind by Paul Robinson.

In the final minute Rhodes and Cairney both had headers saved by Marek Stech, but neither team could make the breakthrough and the game finished level.
