Blackburn Rovers jumped up the Championship table to fourth yesterday afternoon, after recording a 1-0 victory at Stoke City. 

Rovers who started the day just outside the play-off positions managed climb past the Potters who have since dropped down to seventh in what was their second successive defeat.

The lively Reda Khadra opened the scoring in the 52nd minute for the visitors, after both sides had decent opportunities to get the first goal of the contest. 

 

 

Blackburn managed to defend resolutely from the point on, restricting Stoke to very little in the attacking third for the next 40 minutes, whilst creating a few opportunities to add a second and seal the victory. 

Rovers have now picked up 10 points from their last four games and will take a lot of confidence into an important clash with Preston North End next Saturday. 

Scoring the sole goal of the game and putting in an excellent performance to justify his inclusion in the starting XI, it was an enjoyable day for Khadra. 

The 20-year-old now has two goals and an assist to his name this season, starting three of Blackburn's last four matches.
