Kenwyne Jones puts two across the goal line for a 2-1 win over the Rovers for the Black Cats. It was good to see that we could score without Darren Bent. I felt that one of these matches he was going to get lose and put a goal in for us.

Quotes from the Manager Steve Bruce

“We struggled in the first half after putting in a big 60 minutes against Chelsea.

“We could not cope with Blackburn’s physical threat in the first 45 minutes and we could not deal with them.

“It has been a gruelling week for us and Blackburn were fresh for this match.

“I am pleased we have dug in and got the win because we got off the hook a bit.”
