BPL: Rovers sink Sunderland, Premier League survival boosted

HEADS, WE LOSE
Blackburn boosted their bid to secure Premier League survival with a crucial 2-0 win over Sunderland at Ewood Park on Tuesday.

Steve Kean's side were widely written off as relegation certainties after a miserable first half of the season, but Rovers have found some momentum at just the right time and they are now six points clear of the bottom three.

David Hoilett opened the scoring early in the first half and Nigerian striker Ayegbeni Yakubu sealed the points in the closing minutes to pile the pressure on Blackburn's relegation rivals.
