Rovers Produce Second-Half Fightback – ryan

Blackburn Rovers produced a spirited second-half fightback to force a 2-2 draw against Sheffield Wednesday and pick up a second point for manager Valerien ismael.

A dismal first-half effort from rovers saw them go in two goals down with yan Valery and Djeidi Gassama on the scoresheet and booed off with a sixth straight loss.

But they emerged unrecognisable from their first-half performance, pilling on the pressure to first halve the deficit through tyrhys dolan’s clever header.

With five minutes of normal time remaining rovers pulled level, yuki ohashi getting on the end of a whipped cross from todd cantwell to poke the ball home.

A draw provided a timely release for pressure building on new boss ismael after a draw and five defeats since taking over the Ewood Park Dugout.

But a point did neither rovers nor Wednesday much good with regard to fading hopes for either make the play offs.
